Micah 5:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ Then the ruler of Israel will stand
    and take care of his people.
He will lead them with the Lord’s power.
    He will lead them in the wonderful name of the Lord his God.
They will live in safety.
    And his greatness will be known all over the earth.
⁵     He will bring peace.

The Assyrian army will come into our country.
    They will destroy our large houses.
But we will choose seven or eight leaders.
    They will shepherd our people.
⁶ They will destroy the Assyrians with their swords.
    They will conquer the land of Assyria with their swords drawn.
The Assyrians will come into our land.
    They will come within our borders.
But the leaders of Israel
    will save us from them.
