Micah 5:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ they shall rule the land of Assyria with the sword,
    and the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword;^[a]
and they^[b] shall deliver us from the Assyrian
    when he comes into our land
    and treads within our border.

⁷ Then the remnant of Jacob shall be
    in the midst of many peoples
like dew from the Lord,
    like showers upon the grass,
which tarry not for men
    nor wait for the sons of men.
⁸ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations,
    in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
    like a young lion among the flocks of sheep,
which, when it goes through, treads down
    and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
