Miqueas 5:5-6

5 Y él será la fuente de paz.
Cuando los asirios invadan nuestra tierra
y penetren en nuestras defensas,
nombraremos a siete gobernantes para que nos vigilen,
a ocho príncipes para que nos dirijan.

6 Ellos gobernarán a Asiria con la espada desenvainada
y entrarán por las puertas de la tierra de Nimrod.
Él nos rescatará de los asirios
cuando desborden las fronteras para invadir nuestra tierra.
