Micah 5:6-8
Christian Standard Bible
6 They will shepherd(A) the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(B) with a drawn blade.[a]
So he will rescue us(C) from Assyria
when it invades our land,
when it marches against our territory.
The Glorious and Purified Remnant
7 Then the remnant of Jacob(D)
will be among many peoples
like dew from the Lord,(E)
like showers on the grass,(F)
which do not wait for anyone
or linger for mankind.
8 Then the remnant of Jacob
will be among the nations, among many peoples,
like a lion among animals of the forest,(G)
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which tramples(H) and tears(I) as it passes through,
and there is no one to rescue them.(J)
