Miqueas 5:7-9

7 Purificación del remanente
Entonces el remanente que quedó en Israel
ocupará su lugar entre las naciones.
Será como rocío enviado por el Señor
o como lluvia que cae sobre la hierba,
la cual nadie puede controlar
ni hacer que se detenga.

8 El remanente que quedó en Israel
ocupará su lugar entre las naciones.
Será como un león entre los animales del bosque,
como un fuerte león joven entre los rebaños de ovejas y cabras
que se abalanza sobre ellas y las desgarra
sin nadie que las rescate.

9 La gente de Israel enfrentará a sus adversarios
y todos sus enemigos serán aniquilados.
