Micah 5:3-5
Easy-to-Read Version

3 The Lord will let his people be defeated
    until the woman gives birth to her child, the promised king.
Then the rest of his brothers will come back
    to join the people of Israel.
4 He will begin to rule Israel in the power of the Lord.
    Like a shepherd, he will lead his people in the wonderful name of the Lord his God.
And they will live in safety
    because then his greatness will be known all over the world.
5     He will bring a time of peace.

Yes, the Assyrian army will come into our country
    and march through our land.[a]
But we have plenty of leaders[b]
    we can send against them.
