Micah 5:5–6

5 And he will be their peace.

Deliverance and Destruction

When the Assyrian invades our land

and marches through our fortresses,

we will raise against him seven shepherds,

even eight leaders of men.

6 They will rulea the land of Assyria with the sword,

the land of Nimrod with drawn sword.b

He will deliver us from the Assyrian

when he invades our land

and marches into our borders.
