noyes Micah:5-7
noyes@Micah:5:1 @ Yet now gather yourselves in troops, O people of troops! They lay siege against us; With a rod they smite the cheek of the judge of Israel.
noyes@Micah:5:2 @ But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, Who art small to be among the thousands of Judah, Out of thee shall he come forth for me to be ruler in Israel, Whose origin is from the ancient age, from the days of old!
noyes@Micah:5:3 @ But He shall deliver them up, Until she that bringeth forth hath brought forth; Then shall the residue of his brethren return to the children of Israel.
noyes@Micah:5:4 @ He shall stand and rule in the strength of Jehovah, In the majesty of Jehovah, his God; And they shall dwell in security, For he shall be great even to the ends of the earth.
noyes@Micah:5:5 @ And he shall be peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our land, To trample upon our palaces, Then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, And eight leaders of the people,
noyes@Micah:5:6 @ And they shall devour the land of Assyria with the sword, The land of Nimrod within her gates. Thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, And treadeth in our borders.
noyes@Micah:5:7 @ The residue of Jacob shall be in the midst of many nations As the dew which cometh from Jehovah, As drops of rain upon the grass, Which tarrieth not for man, Nor waiteth for the sons of men.
noyes@Micah:5:8 @ The residue of Jacob shall be among the nations, In the midst of many kingdoms, As a lion among the beasts of the forest, As a young lion among flocks of sheep, Who, when he assaulteth, treadeth down and teareth, and none can deliver.
noyes@Micah:5:9 @ Thy hand shall be lifted up over thine adversaries, And all thine enemies shall be destroyed!
noyes@Micah:5:10 @ It shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, That I will destroy thy horses from the midst of thee, And I will consume thy chariots;

noyes@Micah:5:12 @ I will destroy sorceries from thy borders, And soothsayers shall not be with thee.
noyes@Micah:5:13 @ I will destroy thy graven images and thy statues from the midst of thee, And thou shalt no more bow down to the work of thine hands;
noyes@Micah:5:14 @ I will root out thy Astartes from the midst of thee, And I will destroy thy fortified cities;
noyes@Micah:5:15 @ And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury Upon the nations which have not hearkened to me.
noyes@Micah:6:1 @ Hear ye what Jehovah saith! Arise, contend thou before the mountains, And let the hills hear thy voice!
noyes@Micah:6:2 @ Hear, O ye mountains, the controversy of Jehovah! Hear, ye strong foundations of the earth! For Jehovah hath a controversy with his people; He contendeth with Israel.
noyes@Micah:6:3 @ "O my people, what have I done to thee, And wherein have I offended thee? Testify against me!
noyes@Micah:6:4 @ I brought thee up from the land of Egypt, And from the house of bondage I redeemed thee; I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, to go before thee.
noyes@Micah:6:5 @ O my people, remember what Balak the king of Moab devised. And what Balaam, the son of Beor, answered him, What happened from Shittim to Gilgal, That ye may know the mercies of Jehovah."
noyes@Micah:6:6 @ Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah, And bow myself before the most high God? Shall I come before him with burntofferings, With calves of a year old?
noyes@Micah:6:7 @ Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, Or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for the sin of my soul, The fruit of my body for my transgression?
noyes@Micah:6:8 @ He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; What doth Jehovah require of thee, But to do justly, and to love mercy, And to walk humbly before thy God?
noyes@Micah:6:9 @ The voice of Jehovah crieth to the city, And the man of wisdom will discern thee; Hear ye the rod, and who hath threatened it!
noyes@Micah:6:10 @ Are there not yet in the houses of the unrighteous the treasures of iniquity, And the scanty measure, which is abominable?
noyes@Micah:6:11 @ Shall I count her pure with the wicked balances, And with the bag of deceitful weights?
noyes@Micah:6:12 @ For her rich men are full of violence, And her inhabitants speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
noyes@Micah:6:13 @ Therefore will I sorely smite thee, And make thee desolate on account of thy sins.
noyes@Micah:6:14 @ Thou shalt eat and not be satisfied, And hunger shall be within thee. Thou shalt remove, but shalt not save, And what thou savest will I give up to the sword.
noyes@Micah:6:15 @ Thou shalt sow, but shalt not reap; Thou shalt tread the olives, but shalt not anoint thee with oil, And the grapes, but shalt not drink the wine.
noyes@Micah:6:16 @ For ye keep the statutes of Omri, And all the works of the house of Ahab, And walk in their devices; Therefore will I make thee a desolation, And thine inhabitants a derision; And ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
noyes@Micah:7:1 @ Woe is me! I live where the summer fruits are gathered, And the vintage is gleaned; There is no cluster to eat; I long for the firstripe fig.
noyes@Micah:7:2 @ The good man is perished from the land, And there is none upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; Every one hunteth his brother with a net.
noyes@Micah:7:3 @ Their hands are diligent for evil; The prince asketh a bribe, And the judge decideth for money! The great man giveth judgment according to his desire; They conspire to pervert justice.
noyes@Micah:7:4 @ The best of them is like a brier; The most upright of them is sharper than a thornhedge. The day of recompense, announced by thy watchmen, cometh; Then shall come their perplexity.
noyes@Micah:7:5 @ Trust ye not in a friend! Put no confidence in a guide! From her that lieth in thy bosom Keep the doors of thy mouth!
noyes@Micah:7:6 @ For the son dishonoreth his father, The daughter riseth up against her mother, And the daughterinlaw against her motherinlaw; The inmates of a mans house are his foes.
noyes@Micah:7:7 @ I will look to Jehovah; I will hope in the God of my salvation; My God will hear me.
noyes@Micah:7:8 @ Rejoice not over me, O my enemy! Though I have fallen, I shall arise; Though I sit in darkness, Jehovah will be my light.
noyes@Micah:7:9 @ I will bear the indignation of Jehovah, Because I have sinned against him, Until he maintain my cause, and execute judgment for me, Until he bring me to the light, And I behold his mercy.
noyes@Micah:7:10 @ She that is my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her, That said to me, Where is Jehovah thy God? Mine eyes shall gaze upon her; Soon shall she be trodden down, as the mire of the streets.
noyes@Micah:7:11 @ The day cometh when thy walls are to be built; In that day shall the decree be far removed.
noyes@Micah:7:12 @ In that day shall they come to thee From Assyria, and the cities of Egypt, And from Egypt to the river, From sea to sea, from mountain to mountain.
noyes@Micah:7:13 @ But first the land shall be desolate on account of its inhabitants, For the fruit of their doings.
noyes@Micah:7:14 @ Feed thy people with thy crook, The flock of thine inheritance, That dwell solitarily in the forest in the midst of Carmel! Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
noyes@Micah:7:15 @ As in the day when thou camest from Egypt, So will I show thee wonders.
noyes@Micah:7:16 @ The nations shall see, and be ashamed of all their might: They shall lay their hands upon their mouths; Their ears shall be deaf.
noyes@Micah:7:17 @ They shall lick the dust like the serpent; Like the creeping things of the earth, they shall come trembling from their strongholds; To Jehovah our God shall they come with awe, And shall fear on account of thee.
noyes@Micah:7:18 @ Who is a God like thee, that pardoneth iniquity and passeth by transgression, In the remnant of his inheritance? He retaineth not his anger forever, For he delighteth in mercy.
noyes@Micah:7:19 @ He will again have compassion on us, He will blot out our iniquities; Yea, thou wilt cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
noyes@Micah:7:20 @ Thou wilt show faithfulness to Jacob, And mercy to Abraham, Which thou swarest to our fathers from the days of old.
