Micah 5:7-9

God's people will win against their enemies

7 Jacob's descendants who remain

will live among many nations.

The Lord will cause them to bless other people.

They will be like dew or rain which helps plants to grow.

They will not hope for other people to help them.

Instead, they will trust in the Lord.

8 Jacob's descendants who remain

will live among other people in many different nations.

They will be like a lion

that lives among other animals in the forest.

They will be like a strong young lion that is in a field of sheep.

It catches the sheep and it tears them in pieces.

Nobody can save those sheep.

9 Israel's people, you will win against your enemies.

You will remove them from the earth!
