Micah

Micah 5:4–5

⁴He will stand and shepherd His flock

in the strength of the LORD,

in the majestic name of the LORD His God.

And they will dwell securely,

for then His greatness will extend

to the ends of the earth.

⁵And He will be our peace^c

when Assyria invades our land

and tramples our citadels.

We will raise against it seven shepherds,

even eight leaders of men.
