Mikha 5:11-12

5:11 I will destroy the cities of your land,

and tear down all your fortresses.

5:12 I will remove the sorcery ¹  that you practice, ² 

and you will no longer have omen readers living among you. ³ 

[5:12]  ¹ tn Heb “magic charms” (so NCV, TEV); NIV, NLT “witchcraft”; NAB “the means of divination.” The precise meaning of this Hebrew word is uncertain, but note its use in Isa 47:9, 12.

[5:12]  ² tn Heb “from your hands.”

[5:12]  ³ tn Heb “and you will not have omen-readers.”
