Micah 5 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“[fn]But as for you, Bethlehem ^H1035 Ephrathah ^H672,

Too little ^H6810 to be among the clans ^H505 of Judah ^H3063,

From you One will go ^H3318 forth ^H3318 for Me to be ruler ^H4910 in Israel ^H3478.

[fn]His goings ^H4163 forth ^H4163 are from everlasting ^H6924,

From the ancient ^H5769 days ^H3117.”

Therefore ^H3651 He will give ^H5414 them up until ^H5704 the time ^H6256

When she who is in childbirth ^H3205 has borne ^H3205 a child.

Then the remainder ^H3499 of His brothers ^H251

Will return ^H7725 to the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478.

And He will stand ^H5975 and shepherd ^H7462 His flock

In the strength ^H5797 of Yahweh ^H3068,

In the majesty ^H1347 of the name ^H8034 of Yahweh ^H3068 His God ^H430.

And they will [fn]remain ^H3427

Because ^H3588 [fn]at that time ^H6258 He will be ^H1431 great ^H1431

To the ends ^H657 of the earth ^H776.

And this ^H2088 One ^H2088 will be peace ^H7965.

When ^H3588 the Assyrian ^H804 enters ^H935 our land ^H776,

When ^H3588 he treads ^H1869 on our [fn]citadels ^H759,

Then we will raise ^H6965 against ^H5921 him

Seven ^H7651 shepherds ^H7462 and eight ^H8083 princes ^H5257 of men ^H120.

And they will shepherd ^H7462 the land ^H776 of Assyria ^H804 with the sword ^H2719,

The land ^H776 of Nimrod ^H5248 at its entrances ^H6607;

And He will deliver ^H5337 us from the Assyrian ^H804

When ^H3588 he enters ^H935 our land ^H776

And when ^H3588 he treads ^H1869 within our borders ^H1366.

Then the remnant ^H7611 of Jacob ^H3290

Will be among ^H7130 many ^H7227 peoples ^H5971

Like dew ^H2919 from Yahweh ^H3068,

Like showers ^H7241 on vegetation ^H6212

Which ^H834 do not hope ^H6960 for man ^H376

Or wait ^H3176 for the sons ^H1121 of men ^H120.

Then the remnant ^H7611 of Jacob ^H3290

Will be among the nations ^H1471,

Among ^H7130 many ^H7227 peoples ^H5971

Like a lion ^H738 among the beasts ^H929 of the forest ^H3293,

Like a young ^H3715 lion ^H3715 among flocks ^H5739 of sheep ^H6629,

Which ^H834, if ^H518 it passes ^H5674 through ^H5674,

Tramples ^H7429 down ^H7429 and tears ^H2963,

And there ^H369 is ^H369 none ^H369 to deliver ^H5337.

Your hand ^H3027 will be raised ^H7311 up ^H7311 against ^H5921 your adversaries ^H6862,

And all ^H3605 your enemies ^H340 will be cut ^H3772 off ^H3772.

“And it will be in that day ^H3117,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

“That I will cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 your horses ^H5483 from among ^H7130 you

And destroy ^H6 your chariots ^H4818.

“And I will cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 the cities ^H5892 of your land ^H776

And pull ^H2040 down ^H2040 all ^H3605 your fortifications ^H4013.

“And I will cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 sorceries ^H3785 from your hand ^H3027,

And you will have ^H1961 soothsaying ^H6049 no ^H3808 more.

“And I will cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 your graven ^H6456 images ^H6456

And your sacred pillars ^H4676 from among ^H7130 you

So that you will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 worship ^H2331

The work ^H4639 of your hands ^H3027.

“And I will uproot ^H5428 your [fn]Asherim ^H842 from among ^H7130 you

And [fn]eradicate ^H8045 your cities ^H5892.

“And I will execute ^H6213 vengeance ^H5359 in anger ^H639 and wrath ^H2534

On the nations ^H1471 which ^H834 have not [fn]listened ^H8085.”
