Micah 5:6 in Context — Micah 5

4 C’est lui qui ramènera la paix. Lorsque l’Assyrien viendra dans notre pays, Et qu’il pénétrera dans nos palais, Nous ferons lever contre lui sept pasteurs Et huit princes du peuple.

5 Ils feront avec l’épée leur pâture du pays d’Assyrie Et du pays de Nimrod au-dedans de ses portes. Il nous délivrera ainsi de l’Assyrien, Lorsqu’il viendra dans notre pays, Et qu’il pénétrera sur notre territoire.

6 Le reste de Jacob sera au milieu des peuples nombreux Comme une rosée qui vient de l’Éternel, Comme des gouttes d’eau sur l’herbe: Elles ne comptent pas sur l’homme, Elles ne dépendent pas des enfants des hommes.

7 Le reste de Jacob sera parmi les nations, Au milieu des peuples nombreux, Comme un lion parmi les bêtes de la forêt, Comme un lionceau parmi les troupeaux de brebis: Lorsqu’il passe, il foule et déchire, Et personne ne délivre.

8 Que ta main se lève sur tes adversaires, Et que tous tes ennemis soient exterminés!
