Micah 5:1–5
Now agather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops:
He hath laid bsiege against us:
cThey shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod cupon the cheek.
2 dBut thou, eBeth-lehem Ephratah,
Though thou be little among fthe thousands of gJudah,
Yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be hruler in Israel;
Whose igoings forth have been kfrom of old, kfrom †everlasting.
3 Therefore will he give them up,
Until the time that lshe which travaileth hath brought forth:
Then mthe remnant of his brethren nshall return unto the children of Israel.
4 And khe shall stand and ||ofeed in the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord his God;
And they shall abide:
For now pqshall he be great unto rthe ends of the earth.
5 And psthis man shall be the peace,
tWhen the Assyrian shall come into our land:
And when he shall tread in our palaces,
