Micah 5:7-9
The Message
Micah 5:7-9
The Message
7 The purged and select company of Jacob will be
like an island in the sea of peoples.
They’ll be like dew from God,
like summer showers
Not mentioned in the weather forecast,
not subject to calculation or control.
8-9 Yes, the purged and select company of Jacob will be
like an island in the sea of peoples,
Like the king of beasts among wild beasts,
like a young lion loose in a flock of sheep,
Killing and devouring the lambs
and no one able to stop him.
With your arms raised in triumph over your foes,
your enemies will be no more!

New International Version
Micah 5:7-9
New International Version
7 The remnant(A) of Jacob will be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew(B) from the Lord,
like showers on the grass,(C)
which do not wait for anyone
or depend on man.
8 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,(D)
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which mauls and mangles(E) as it goes,
and no one can rescue.(F)
9 Your hand will be lifted up(G) in triumph over your enemies,
and all your foes will be destroyed.
