And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among the Gentiles in the middes of many people, as the lyon among the beastes of the forest, and as the lyons whelpe among the flockes of sheepe, who when he goeth thorow, treadeth downe and teareth in pieces, and none can deliuer.
Micah 5:6 And they shall destroy Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with their swordes: thus shall he deliuer vs from Asshur, when hee commeth into our lande, and when he shall tread within our borders.
Micah 5:7 And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among many people, as a dewe from the Lord, and as the showres vpon the grasse, that waiteth not for man, nor hopeth in the sonnes of Adam.
Micah 5:8 And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among the Gentiles in the middes of many people, as the lyon among the beastes of the forest, and as the lyons whelpe among the flockes of sheepe, who when he goeth thorow, treadeth downe and teareth in pieces, and none can deliuer.
Micah 5:9 Thine hand shall bee lift vp vpon thine aduersaries, and all thine enemies shalbe cut off.
Micah 5:10 And it shall come to passe in that day, sayth the Lord, that I will cut off thine horses out of the middes of thee, and I will destroy thy charets.
The verse centers on "sheep", "remnant", "iaakob", "shalbe", "gentiles", "middes", "people", and "lyon". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "sheep" and "remnant", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 7's "And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among..." into verse 9's "Thine hand shall bee lift vp vpon...", so "sheep" and "remnant" belong inside that flow. In Micah context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "sheep" and "remnant" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
