Micah 4:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 And I will make her that halteth, [a]a remnant, and her that was cast far off, a mighty nation, and the Lord shall reign over them in Mount Zion, from henceforth even forever.
8 And thou, O [b]tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter Zion, unto thee shall it come, even [c]the first dominion, and kingdom shall come to the daughter Jerusalem.
9 Now why dost thou cry out with lamentation? is [d]there no king in thee? is thy counselor perished? for sorrow hath taken thee, as a woman in travail.
