Micah 5:10-15

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that I will take away thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy chariots.

11 And I will destroy the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strong holds,

12 (5-11) and I will take away sorceries out of thy hand, and there shall be no divinations in thee.

13 (5-12) And I will destroy thy graven things, and thy statues, out of the midst of thee: and thou shalt no more adore the works of thy hands.

14 (5-13) And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: and will crush thy cities.

15 (5-14) And I will execute vengeance in wrath, and in indignation, among all the nations that have not given ear.
