Micah 5:5-15

5 This man will be their peace. When the Assyrians invade our land and trample our palaces, we will attack them with seven shepherds and eight leaders.
6 They will rule Assyria with their swords and the country of Nimrod with drawn swords. They will rescue us from the Assyrians when they come into our land and walk within our territory.
7 Then the few people left from Jacob will be among many people like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass. They do not put their hope in humans or wait for mortals.
8 The few people left from Jacob will be among the nations, among many people. They will be like a lion among animals in the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep. When a lion hunts, it tramples [its victims] and tears [them] to pieces, and there is no one to rescue them.
9 You will use your power against your opponents, and all your enemies will be destroyed.
10 "When that day comes," declares the LORD, "I will destroy your horses and demolish your chariots.
11 I will destroy the cities in your land and tear down all your fortresses.
12 I will destroy your sorcerers, and you will have no more fortunetellers.
13 I will destroy your idols and your sacred monuments. You will no longer worship what your hands have made.
14 I will pull out your poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah. I will wipe out your cities.
15 I will take revenge with great anger on the nations that do not obey me."
