Micah 4:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷I will make the disabled my faithful people.
    I will make into a strong nation those driven away from their homes.
I will rule over them on Mount Zion.
    I will be their King from that time on and forever.
⁸Jerusalem, you used to be
    like a guard tower for my flock.
City of Zion, you used to be
    a place of safety for my people.
The glorious kingdom you had before
    will be given back to you.
    Once again a king will rule over your people.”

⁹Why are you crying out so loudly now?
    Don’t you have a king?
Has your ruler died?
    Is that why pain comes on you
    like the pain of a woman having a baby?
