Micah 5章 ESV | 微讀聖經

The Ruler to Be Born in Bethlehem

15:1 Ch 4:14 in Hebrew Now muster your troops, O daughter5:1 That is, city of troops;

siege is laid against us;

with a rod 5:1 See 1 Kgs. 22:24they strike the judge of Israel

on the cheek.

25:2 Ch 5:1 in Hebrew5:2 Cited Matt. 2:6; [John 7:42] But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,

who are too little to be among the clans of 5:2 [Heb. 7:14] Judah,

from you shall come forth for me

one who is to be 5:2 [Gen. 49:10; Isa. 9:6, 7; Jer. 30:21; Zech. 9:9] ruler in Israel,

5:2 Hos. 6:3whose coming forth is 5:2 Ps. 90:2; [Prov. 8:22, 23; John 1:1]from of old,

from ancient days.

3Therefore he shall give them up 5:3 [ch. 4:9, 10] until the time

when she who is in labor has given birth;

then 5:3 [ch. 4:7]the rest of his brothers shall return

to the people of Israel.

4And he shall stand 5:4 Isa. 40:11; [ch. 7:14] and shepherd his flock 5:4 See Isa. 11:3-5in the strength of the Lord,

in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.

And they shall dwell secure, for now 5:4 Ps. 72:8; Isa. 52:13; Luke 1:32he shall be great

to the ends of the earth.

5And he shall be 5:5 [Isa. 9:6; Zech. 9:10; Eph. 2:14] their peace.

5:5 [2 Kgs. 18:13] When the Assyrian comes into our land

and treads in our palaces,

then we will raise against him seven 5:5 [Isa. 3:2, 3]shepherds

and eight princes of men;

6they shall shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,

and the land of 5:6 Gen. 10:8, 10, 11Nimrod at its entrances;

and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian

5:6 [See ver. 5above]when he comes into our land

and treads within our border.

A Remnant Shall Be Delivered

7Then 5:7 [See ver. 3above]the remnant of Jacob shall be

in the midst of many peoples

like dew from the Lord,

like showers on the grass,

which delay not for a man

nor wait for the children of man.

8And 5:8 [See ver. 3above] the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations,

in the midst of many peoples,

like a lion among the beasts of the forest,

like a young lion among the flocks of sheep,

5:8 [Hos. 5:14]which, when it goes through, treads down

and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.

9Your hand shall 5:9 Isa. 26:11be lifted up over your adversaries,

and all your enemies shall be cut off.

10And 5:10 [ch. 4:1, 6] in that day, declares the Lord,

5:10 Zech. 9:10; [Isa. 2:7; Hag. 2:22]I will cut off your horses from among you

and will destroy your chariots;

115:11 ver. 14; Isa. 17:9; 27:10; [Hos. 8:14; Zech. 2:4]and I will cut off the cities of your land

and throw down all your strongholds;

12and I will cut off 5:12 [2 Kgs. 9:22] sorceries from your hand,

and 5:12 Deut. 18:10; [Isa. 2:6]you shall have no more tellers of fortunes;

13and 5:13 Zech. 13:2I will cut off your carved images

and 5:13 Hos. 3:4your pillars from among you,

5:13 [Isa. 17:8]and you shall bow down no more

to the work of your hands;

14and I will root out your 5:14 Ex. 34:13; See Deut. 16:21Asherah images from among you

5:14 [See ver. 11above]and destroy your cities.

15And in anger and wrath 5:15 [ver. 8; Ps. 149:7; 2 Thess. 1:8]I will execute vengeance

on the nations that did not obey.
