NASB Bible

Micah 5

Birth of the King in Bethlehem

1

1Now muster yourselves in troops, daughter of troops;  2They have laid siege against us; With a rod they will  asmite the judge of Israel on the cheek.

2

1But as for  ayou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From  byou One will go forth for Me to be  cruler in Israel.  2His goings forth are  dfrom long ago, From the days of eternity."

3

Therefore He will  agive them up until the time When she  bwho is in labor has borne a child. Then the  cremainder of His brethren Will return to the sons of Israel.

4

And He will arise and  ashepherd His flock In the strength of the LORD, In the majesty of the name of the LORD His God. And they will  1remain, Because  2at that time He will be great To the  bends of the earth.

5

This One  awill be our peace. When the  bAssyrian invades our land, When he tramples on our  1citadels, Then we will raise against him Seven shepherds and eight leaders of men.

6

They will  ashepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, The land of  bNimrod at its entrances; And He will  cdeliver us from the Assyrian When he attacks our land And when he tramples our territory.

7

Then the  aremnant of Jacob Will be among many peoples Like  bdew from the LORD, Like  cshowers on vegetation Which do not wait for man Or delay for the sons of men.

8

The remnant of Jacob Will be among the nations, Among many peoples  aLike a lion among the beasts of the forest, Like a young lion among flocks of sheep, Which, if he passes through,  bTramples down and  ctears, And there is  dnone to rescue.

9

Your hand will be  alifted up against your adversaries, And all your enemies will be cut off.

10

"It will be in that day," declares the LORD, " aThat I will cut off your  bhorses from among you And destroy your chariots.

11

"I will also cut off the  acities of your land And tear down all your  bfortifications.

12

"I will cut off  asorceries from your hand, And you will have fortune-tellers no more.

13

aI will cut off your carved images And your sacred pillars from among you, So that you will no longer bow down To the work of your hands.

14

"I will root out your  1 aAsherim from among you And destroy your cities.

15

"And I will  aexecute vengeance in anger and wrath On the nations which have not obeyed."
