Micah - Chapter 5

Navigate by Book & Chapter

Go

1 Jerusalem, enemy troops have surrounded you; they have struck Israel’s ruler in the face with a stick.

2 Bethlehem Ephrath, you are one of the smallest towns in the nation of Judah. But the Lord will choose one of your people to rule the nation—someone whose family goes back to ancient times.

3 The Lord will abandon Israel only until this ruler is born, and the rest of his family returns to Israel.

4 Like a shepherd taking care of his sheep, this ruler will lead and care for his people by the power and glorious name of the Lord his God. His people will live securely, and the whole earth will know his true greatness,

5 because he will bring peace.
