Micha 5:5-6

5 Die zullen het land van Assur afweiden met het zwaard, en het land van Nimrod in deszelfs ingangen. Alzo zal Hij ons redden van Assur, wanneer dezelve in ons land zal komen, en wanneer hij in onze landpale zal treden.

6 En Jakobs overblijfsel zal zijn in het midden van vele volken, als een dauw van den HEERE, als droppelen op het kruid, dat naar geen man wacht, noch mensenkinderen verbeidt.
