Micah 5:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that [a]she which shall bear, shall travail: then the remnant of their brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
4 And he shall [b]stand, and feed in the strength of the Lord, and in the majesty of the Name of the Lord his God, and they shall dwell still: for now shall he be magnified unto the ends of the world.
5 And he [c]shall be our peace when Assyria shall come into our land: when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
