From Defeated Ruler to Conquering King
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:1 -

Now, daughter who is under attack,

you slash yourself in grief;

a siege is set against us!

They are striking the judge of Israel

on the cheek with a rod.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:2 -

Bethlehem Ephrathah,

you are small among the clans of Judah;

one will come from you

to be ruler over Israel for me.

His origin[fn] is from antiquity,

from ancient times.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:3 -

Therefore, Israel will be abandoned until the time

when she who is in labor has given birth;

then the rest of the ruler’s brothers will return

to the people of Israel.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:4 -

He will stand and shepherd them

in the strength of the LORD,

in the majestic name of the LORD his God.

They will live securely,

for then his greatness will extend

to the ends of the earth.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:5 -

He will be their peace.

When Assyria invades our land,

when it marches against our fortresses,

we will raise against it seven shepherds,

even eight leaders of men.

They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,

the land of Nimrod with a drawn blade.[fn]

when it invades our land,

when it marches against our territory.

The Glorious and Purified Remnant
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:7 -

Then the remnant of Jacob

will be among many peoples

like dew from the LORD,

like showers on the grass,

which do not wait for anyone

or linger for mankind.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:8 -

Then the remnant of Jacob

will be among the nations, among many peoples,

like a lion among animals of the forest,

like a young lion among flocks of sheep,

which tramples and tears as it passes through,

and there is no one to rescue them.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:9 -

In that day —

this is the LORD’s declaration —

I will remove your horses from you

and wreck your chariots.

and tear down all your fortresses.

and you will not have any more fortune-tellers.

and sacred pillars from you

so that you will no longer worship

the work of your hands.

and demolish your cities.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:15 -

I will take vengeance in anger and wrath

against the nations that have not obeyed me.
