Micah 4:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

and those who were cast off, a strong nation;
and the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion
now and for evermore.

⁸And you, O tower of the flock,
    hill of daughter Zion,
to you it shall come,
    the former dominion shall come,
    the sovereignty of daughter Jerusalem.

⁹Now why do you cry aloud?

Has your counsellor perished,
that pangs have seized you like a woman in labour?
