New Living Translation (NLT)

Micah 5
¹⁰ “In that day,” says the LORD, “I will slaughter your horses and destroy your chariots.
¹¹ I will tear down your walls and demolish your defenses.
¹² I will put an end to all witchcraft, and there will be no more fortune-tellers.
¹³ I will destroy all your idols and sacred pillars, so you will never again worship the work of your own hands.
¹⁴ I will abolish your idol shrines with their Asherah poles and destroy your pagan cities.
¹⁵ I will pour out my vengeance on all the nations that refuse to obey me.”
Micah 6
¹ Listen to what the LORD is saying: “Stand up and state your case against me. Let the mountains and hills be called to witness your complaints.
² And now, O mountains, listen to the LORD’s complaint! He has a case against his people. He will bring charges against Israel.
³ “O my people, what have I done to you? What have I done to make you tired of me? Answer me!
⁴ For I brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from slavery. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to help you.
⁵ Don’t you remember, my people, how King Balak of Moab tried to have you cursed and how Balaam son of Beor blessed you instead? And remember your journey from Acacia Grove to Gilgal, when I, the LORD, did everything I could to teach you about my faithfulness.”
