Micah · Chapter 5
Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Yisra'el with a rod upon the cheek.
But thou, Beit Lechem Ephratah,
though thou be little among the thousands of Judah,
yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me
that is to be ruler in Yisra'el; whose goings forth
have been
from of old, from everlasting.
Therefore will he give them up, until the time
that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Yisra'el.
And he shall stand and feed in the strength of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), in the majesty of the name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) his Elohim; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
And this
man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver
us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
And the remnant of Ya'aqov shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
And the remnant of Ya'aqov shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:
And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:
And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no
more soothsayers:
Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.
And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.

Micah · Chapter 6
Hear ye now what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
Hear ye, O mountains, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)’S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Yisra'el.
O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
For I brought thee up out of the land of Mitsrayim, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Mosheh, Aharon, and Miriam.
O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Wherewith shall I come before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH),
and bow myself before the high Elohim? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
Will 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) be pleased with thousands of rams,
or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn
for my transgression, the fruit of my body
for the sin of my nephesh?
He hath shewed thee, O man, what
is good; and what doth 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy Elohim?
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)’S voice crieth unto the city, and
the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure
that is abominable?
Shall I count
them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue
is deceitful in their mouth.
Therefore also will I make
thee sick in smiting thee, in making
thee desolate because of thy sins.
Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down
shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and
that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.

Micah · Chapter 7
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage:
there is no cluster to eat: my nephesh desired the firstripe fruit.
The good
man is perished out of the earth: and
there is
none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge
asketh for a reward; and the great
man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
The best of them
is as a brier: the most upright
is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen
and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in torah against her mother in torah; a man’s enemies
are the men of his own house.
Therefore I will look unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); I will wait for the Elohim of my salvation: my Elohim will hear me.
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
shall be a light unto me.
I will bear the indignation of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light,
and I shall behold his righteousness.
Then
she that is mine enemy shall see
it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
In the day that thy walls are to be built,
in that day shall the decree be far removed.
In that day
also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and
from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and
from mountain to mountain.
Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily
in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed
in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Mitsrayim will I shew unto him marvellous
things.
The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay
their hand upon
their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim, and shall fear because of thee.
Who
is a Elohim like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth
in mercy.
He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Thou wilt perform the truth to Ya'aqov,
and the mercy to Avraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
