Micah 5:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And he shall [a]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 [b]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.
6 And they shall destroy [c]Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with their swords: thus shall he [d]deliver us from Assyria, when he cometh into our land, and when he shall tread within our borders.
