Micah 4:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ I will ·keep alive those who were crippled [make the lame a remnant],
    and I will make a strong nation of those who were ·sent away [outcasts; exiles].
The Lord will ·be their king [reign over them] in Mount Zion from now on and forever.
⁸ And you, ·watchtower of the flocks [or Migdal-eder], ·hill [or stronghold] of ·Jerusalem [^LDaughter Zion],
    to you ·will come the kingdom [dominion will be restored] as in the past.
·Jerusalem [^LDaughter Jerusalem], the ·right to rule [kingship; sovereignty] will come again to you.”

⁹ Now, why do you cry so loudly?
    ·Is your king gone [Have you no king/King; ^Ceither a human king or God]?
Have you lost your ·helper [counselor; wise guide],
    so that you are in pain, like a woman ·trying to give birth [in labor]?
