Micah 5:6-8

English Standard Version

⁶ they shall shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
    and the land of ^(A)Nimrod at its entrances;
and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian
    ^(B)when he comes into our land
    and treads within our border.

⁷ Then ^(C)the remnant of Jacob shall be
    in the midst of many peoples
like dew from the Lord,
    like showers on the grass,
which delay not for a man
    nor wait for the children of man.
⁸ And ^(D)the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations,
    in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
    like a young lion among the flocks of sheep,
^(E)which, when it goes through, treads down
    and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
