Micah 5:11

Judgment

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

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

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.

13 I will also cut off the carved images and sacred pillars from among you, so that you will no longer bow down to the work of your own hands.

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.
