Miqueas 5:7-9

7 Entonces el remanente de Jacob, en medio de muchos pueblos, será como rocío que viene del SEÑOR, como lluvias sobre la hierba que no espera al hombre ni aguarda a los hijos de los hombres.

8 Y será el remanente de Jacob entre las naciones, en medio de muchos pueblos, como león entre las fieras de la selva, como leoncillo entre los rebaños de ovejas, que si pasa, huella y desgarra, y no hay quien libre.

9 Se alzará tu mano contra tus adversarios, y todos tus enemigos serán exterminados.
