Micah 5:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
Like a lion among beasts of the forest,
like a young lion among flocks of sheep;
When it passes through it tramples;
it tears and no one can rescue.
8 Your hand shall be lifted above your foes,
and all your enemies shall be cut down.
9 [a]On that day—oracle of the Lord—
I will destroy the horses from your midst
and ruin your chariots;
