Michea 5:10-15

10 Ed avverrà in quel giorno, dice il Signore, che io distruggerò i tuoi cavalli del mezzo di te, e farò perire i tuoi carri;

11 e distruggerò le città del tuo paese, e manderò in ruina tutte le tue fortezze.

12 Sterminerò eziandio di man tua gl’incantesimi, e tu non avrai più alcuni pronosticatori.

13 E distruggerò del mezzo di te le tue sculture, e le tue statue; e tu non adorerai più l’opera delle tue mani.

14 E stirperò i tuoi boschi del mezzo di te, e disfarò le tue città.

15 E farò vendetta, con ira, e con cruccio, sopra le genti che non avranno ascoltato.
