Read Micah 5b-15. In 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 context 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.
