Miqueas 5:5-6

5 ¡Él traerá la paz!Si Asiria llegara a invadir nuestro paíspara pisotear nuestras fortalezas,le haremos frente con siete pastores,y aun con ocho líderes del pueblo;

6 ellos pastorearán a Asiria con la espada;con la daga, a la tierra de Nimrod.Si Asiria llegara a invadir nuestro país,si llegara a profanar nuestras fronteras,¡él nos rescatará!
