Micah 5:5-7

Christian Standard Bible

⁵ He will be their peace.^(A)
When Assyria invades our land,^(B)
when it marches against our fortresses,
we will raise against it seven shepherds,
even eight leaders of men.
⁶ They will shepherd^(C) the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod^(D) with a drawn blade.^[a]
So he will rescue us^(E) from Assyria
when it invades our land,
when it marches against our territory.

⁷ Then the remnant of Jacob^(F)
will be among many peoples
like dew from the Lord,^(G)
like showers on the grass,^(H)
which do not wait for anyone
or linger for mankind.
