Micah5:9
9. Thine hand shall be lifted up--In Is 26:11 it is Jehovah's hand that is lifted up; here Israel's as Mi 5:8 implies, just as "Zion" is addressed and directed to "beat in pieces many people" (Mi 4:13; compare Is 54:15, 17). For Israel's foes are Jehovah's foes. When her hand is said to be lifted up, it is Jehovah's hand that strikes the foe by her (compare Ex 13:9, with Ex 14:8).
