Micah 5:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Jacob’s people who are still left alive
    will be scattered among many nations.
They will be like dew the Lord has sent.
    Dew doesn’t depend on any human being.
They will be like rain that falls on the grass.
    Rain doesn’t wait for someone to give it orders.
⁸ So Jacob’s people will be scattered
    among many nations.
They will be like a lion
    among the animals in the forest.
They’ll be like a young lion
    among flocks of sheep.
Lions attack and tear apart their prey as they move along.
    No one can keep them
    from killing what they want.
⁹ Lord, your power will win the battle
    over your enemies.
    All of them will be destroyed.
