Micah 5:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 Then the (A)remnant of Jacob
Will be among many peoples
Like (B)dew from the Lord,
Like (C)showers on vegetation
That do not wait for man,
Or delay for [a]mankind.
8 The remnant of Jacob
Will be among the nations,
Among many peoples
(D)Like a lion among the animals of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Which, if he passes through,
(E)Tramples and (F)tears,
And there is (G)no one who can rescue.
9 Your hand will be (H)lifted up against your adversaries,
And all your enemies will be eliminated.

Zechariah 9:13-16
New American Standard Bible
13 For I will (A)bend Judah [a]as My bow,
I will fill the bow with Ephraim.
And I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, (B)Greece;
And I will make you like a (C)warrior’s sword.
14 Then the Lord will appear (D)over them,
And His (E)arrow will go forth like lightning;
And the Lord [b]God will blow the (F)trumpet,
And march in the (G)storm winds of the south.
15 (H)The Lord of armies will protect them.
And they will (I)devour and trample on the (J)slingstones;
And they will drink and be (K)boisterous as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,
Drenched like the (L)corners of the altar.
16 And the Lord their God will (M)save them on that day
As the flock of His people;
For they are like the precious stones of a (N)crown,
Sparkling on His land.

Zechariah 10:3-6
New American Standard Bible
3 “My (A)anger is kindled against the shepherds,
And I will punish the [a]male goats;
For the Lord of armies has (B)visited His flock, the house of Judah,
And will make them like His majestic horse in battle.
4 From [b]them will come the (C)cornerstone,
From [c]them the tent peg,
From [d]them the bow of (D)battle,
From [e]them every tyrant, all of them together.
5 And they will be like warriors,
(E)Trampling down the enemy in the mud of the streets in battle;
And they will fight, because the Lord will be with them;
And the (F)riders on horses will be put to shame.
6 And I will (G)strengthen the house of Judah,
And I will (H)save the house of Joseph,
And I will [f](I)bring them back,
Because I have had (J)compassion on them;
And they will be as though I had (K)not rejected them,
For I am the Lord their God and I will (L)answer them.
