Micah 5:7

5:7 Those survivors from ¹  Jacob will live ² 

in the midst of many nations. ³ 

They will be like the dew the Lord sends,

like the rain on the grass,

that does not hope for men to come

or wait around for humans to arrive. ⁴ 

[5:7]  ¹ tn Heb “the remnant of” (also in v. 8).

[5:7]  ² tn Heb “will be.”

[5:7]  ³ tn This could mean “(scattered) among the nations” (cf. CEV, NLT) or “surrounded by many nations” (cf. NRSV).

[5:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “that does not hope for man, and does not wait for the sons of men.”
