Micah 5:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶They will destroy the Assyrians with their swords.
    They will conquer the land of Assyria with their swords drawn.
The Assyrians will come into our land.
    They will come within our borders.
But the leaders of Israel
    will save us from them.

⁷Then the people of Jacob who are left alive
    will be like dew from the Lord to many people.
They will be like rain which does not wait for man.
    They will be like showers which do not wait for human beings.
⁸Those left alive of Jacob’s people
    will be scattered among the nations.
    They will be among many peoples.
They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest.
    They will be like a young lion going through the flock.
He steps on what is in his way.
    No one can save the nations from God’s people.
