9 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
9 Your hand will be lifted up in triumph over your enemies, and all your foes will be destroyed.
9 Your hand shall be lifted up over your adversaries, and all your enemies shall be cut off.
9 With your arms raised in triumph over your foes, your enemies will be no more!
9 Your hand shall be lifted against your adversaries, And all your enemies shall be cut off.
9 The people of Israel will stand up to their foes, and all their enemies will be wiped out.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Micah 5:9
Commentary on Micah 5:7-15
(Read Micah 5:7-15)
The remnant of Israel, converted to Christ in the primitive times, were among many nations as the drops of dew, and were made instruments in calling a large increase of spiritual worshippers. But to those who neglected or opposed this salvation, they would, as lions, cause terror, their doctrine condemning them. The Lord also declares that he would cause not only the reformation of the Jews, but the purification of the Christian church. In like manner shall we be assured of victory in our personal conflicts, as we simply depend upon the Lord our salvation, worship him, and serve him with diligence.
