Micah 5:3-5
Living Bible

3 God will abandon his people to their enemies until she who is to give birth has her son; then at last his fellow countrymen—the exile remnants of Israel—will rejoin their brethren in their own land.

4 And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God, and his people shall remain there undisturbed, for he will be greatly honored all around the world. 5 He will be our Peace. And when the Assyrian[a] invades our land and marches across our hills, he will appoint seven shepherds to watch over us, eight princes to lead us.

Micah 5:3-5
New International Version

3 Therefore Israel will be abandoned(A)
    until the time when she who is in labor bears a son,
and the rest of his brothers return
    to join the Israelites.

4 He will stand and shepherd his flock(B)
    in the strength of the Lord,
    in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they will live securely, for then his greatness(C)
    will reach to the ends of the earth.

5 And he will be our peace(D)
    when the Assyrians invade(E) our land
    and march through our fortresses.
We will raise against them seven shepherds,
    even eight commanders,(F)
