10 “It will happen in that day,” says Yahweh,
“That I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you,
and will destroy your chariots. 11 I will cut off the cities of your land,
and will tear down all your strongholds. 12 I will destroy witchcraft from your hand;
and you shall have no soothsayers. 13 I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars out of your midst;
and you shall no more worship the work of your hands. 14 I will uproot your Asherim out of your midst;
and I will destroy your cities.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Micah 5:10-14
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.
