Micah 5 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

“[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 come ^H3318 forth ^H3318 for Me to be ruler ^H4910 in Israel ^H3478.

His times ^H4163 of ^H4163 coming ^H4163 forth ^H4163 are from long ^H6924 ago ^H6924,

From the days ^H3117 of eternity ^H5769.”

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

When she who is in ^H3205 labor ^H3205 has given ^H3205 birth ^H3205.

Then the remainder ^H3499 of His kinsmen ^H251

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

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

In the strength ^H5797 of the LORD ^H3068,

In the majesty ^H1347 of the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^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.

This ^H2088 One ^H2088 will be our peace ^H7965.

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

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

Then we will raise ^H6965 against ^H5921 him

Seven ^H7651 shepherds ^H7462 and eight ^H8083 leaders ^H5257 of people ^H120.

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 rescue ^H5337 us from the Assyrian ^H804

When ^H3588 he invades ^H935 our land ^H776,

And when ^H3588 he tramples ^H1869 our territory ^H1366.

Then the remnant ^H7611 of Jacob ^H3290

Will be among ^H7130 many ^H7227 peoples ^H5971

Like dew ^H2919 from the LORD ^H3068,

Like showers ^H7241 on vegetation ^H6212

That do not wait ^H6960 for man ^H376,

Or delay ^H3176 for [fn]mankind ^H1121 H120.

The remnant ^H7611 of Jacob ^H3290

Will be among the nations ^H1471,

Among ^H7130 many ^H7227 peoples ^H5971

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

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

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

Tramples ^H7429 and tears ^H2963,

And there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 who ^H5337 can ^H5337 rescue ^H5337.

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

And all ^H3605 your enemies ^H340 will be eliminated ^H3772.

“And it will be on that day ^H3117,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068,

“That I will eliminate ^H3772 your horses ^H5483 from among ^H7130 you,

And destroy ^H6 your chariots ^H4818.

“I will also eliminate ^H3772 the cities ^H5892 of your land ^H776,

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

“I will eliminate ^H3772 sorceries ^H3785 from your hand ^H3027,

And you will have ^H1961 no ^H3808 fortune-tellers ^H6049.

“I will eliminate ^H3772 your carved ^H6456 images ^H6456

And your memorial ^H4676 stones ^H4676 from among ^H7130 you,

So that you will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 bow ^H2331 down ^H2331

To the work ^H4639 of your hands ^H3027.

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

And destroy ^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 obeyed ^H8085.”
