Micah 5:6-8

Good News Translation

^6 (A)By force of arms they will conquer Assyria, the land of Nimrod, and they^[a] will save us from the Assyrians when they invade our territory.

⁷ The people of Israel who survive will be like refreshing dew sent by the Lord for many nations, like showers on growing plants. They will depend on God, not people. ⁸ Those who are left among the nations will be like a lion hunting for food in a forest or a pasture: it gets in among the sheep, pounces on them, and tears them to pieces—and there is no hope of rescue.
