Micah 5:5-7
Revised Standard Version
5 And this shall be peace,
when the Assyrian comes into our land
and treads upon our soil,[a]
that we will raise against him seven shepherds
and eight princes of men;
6 they shall rule the land of Assyria with the sword,
and the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword;[b]
and they[c] shall deliver us from the Assyrian
when he comes into our land
and treads within our border.
The Future Role of the Remnant
7 Then the remnant of Jacob shall be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew from the Lord,
like showers upon the grass,
which tarry not for men
nor wait for the sons of men.
Micah 5:5-7

when the Assyrians invade(B) our land
and march through our fortresses.
We will raise against them seven shepherds,
even eight commanders,(C)
6 who will rule[a] the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(D) with drawn sword.[b](E)
He will deliver us from the Assyrians
when they invade our land
and march across our borders.(F)
Micah 5:5-7
King James Version
5 And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the Lord, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
