Micah 5:8
| ← Micah 5:7 | Micah 5:8 (KJV) | Micah 5:9 → |
|---|---|---|
And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
|
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
|
Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
