Micah

Micah 5:8–9

⁸Then the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,

in the midst of many peoples,

like a lion among the beasts of the forest,

like a young lion among flocks of sheep,

which tramples and tears as it passes through,

with no one to rescue them.

⁹Your hand will be lifted over your foes,

and all your enemies will be cut off.
