MICAH
[V
- Though thou be little among the thousands of Judah,
- Yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel;
- Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
- Therefore will he give them up,
- Until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth:
- Then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
- And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord,
- In the majesty of the name of the Lord his God;
- And they shall abide:
- For now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
- And this man shall be the peace,
- When the Assyrian shall come into our land:
- And when he shall tread in our palaces,
- Then shall we raise against him seven shepherds,
- And eight principal men.
- And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword,
- And the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof:
- Thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian,
- When he cometh into our land,
- And when he treadeth within our borders.
- And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people
