Micah 5:10

Judgment

8 Then the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, which tramples and tears as it passes through, with no one to rescue them.

9 Your hand will be lifted over your foes, and all your enemies will be cut off.

“In that day,” declares the LORD, “I will remove your horses from among you and wreck your chariots.

11 I will remove the cities of your land and tear down all your strongholds.

12 I will cut the sorceries from your hand, and you will have no fortune-tellers.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
