Mikha 5:8-9

5:8 Those survivors from Jacob will live among the nations,

in the midst of many peoples.

They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest,

like a young lion among the flocks of sheep,

which attacks when it passes through;

it rips its prey ¹  and there is no one to stop it. ² 

5:9 Lift your hand triumphantly against your adversaries; ³ 

may all your enemies be destroyed! ⁴
