Reading for October 14th

Read Micah 5.5b-15 Israel will be restored and its oppressors punished.
In verses 5-6 the Assyrians conquered the northern kingdom of Israel with its capital
Samaria in 721 BCE.
Nimrod was a legendary Assyrian ruler (Gen 10.8-12).
In verses 10-15 it is unclear whether this judgment is intended for Israel or its enemies:
The pronoun you appears to refer to Israel as it does in v. 9 and the content is typical of
judgments on Israel, but the context of Israel's restoration and the reference to Israel's enemies
in vv. 9 and 15 imply that this judgment is directed to them.
