Miquéias 5:7-9

7 O remanescente de Jacó estaráno meio de muitos povoscomo orvalho da parte do SENHOR,como aguaceiro sobre a relva;não porá sua esperança no homemnem dependerá dos seres humanos.

8 O remanescente de Jacó estará entre as nações,no meio de muitos povos,como um leão entre os animais da floresta,como um leão forte entre os rebanhos de ovelhas,leão que, quando ataca, destroça e mutila a presa,sem que ninguém a possa livrar.

9 Sua mão se levantará contra os seus adversários,e todos os seus inimigos serão destruídos.
