76. Five. Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, all thine enemies shall be cut off. It shall come to pass in that day that I will cut off the horses, I will destroy the chariots, I will cut off the cities, also juggling tricks from thine hand, graven images, statues, groves, and cities. And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations, who have not obeyed (Micah 5:9-14). He who is from Bethlehem Ephratah will do this, etc. (verses 1-7). The day of thy watchmen, thy visitation cometh (Micah 7:4). The mountains shall quake before Him, and the hills shall melt, and the earth shall be burned before Him. Who shall stand up before His indignation, or who shall stand in the wrath of His anger? (Nahum 1:5, 6.) Behold upon the mountains the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy feasts, perform thy vows, for belial shall no more pass through thee; everyone shall be cut off. The shield of his mighty men is made red, the men of might are in purple; the chariots shall be in the fire of torches in the day in which he hath prepared himself (Nahum 1:15; 2:1-3).
