Micah 5:4-6
New International Reader's Version
4 That promised son will stand firm
and be a shepherd for his flock.
The Lord will give him the strength to do it.
The Lord his God will give him
the authority to rule.
His people will live safely.
His greatness will reach
from one end of the earth to the other.
5 And he will be our peace
when the Assyrians attack our land.
They will march through our forts.
But we will raise up against them many shepherds.
We’ll send out against them
as many commanders as we need to.
6 They will use their swords to rule over Assyria.
They’ll rule the land of Nimrod
with swords that are ready to strike.
The Assyrians will march across our borders
and attack our land.
But the promised ruler will save us from them.

in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they will live securely, for then his greatness(B)
will reach to the ends of the earth.
5 And he will be our peace(C)
when the Assyrians invade(D) our land
and march through our fortresses.
We will raise against them seven shepherds,
even eight commanders,(E)
6 who will rule[a] the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(F) with drawn sword.[b](G)
He will deliver us from the Assyrians
when they invade our land
and march across our borders.(H)
