Micah 5:1-2

The Ruler to Be Born in Bethlehem

1 ^{▼▼Ch 4:14 in Hebrew} Now muster your troops, O daughter ^{▼▼That is, city} of troops;
siege is laid against us;
with a rod ^cthey strike the judge of Israel
on the cheek.
2 ^{▼▼Ch 5:1 in Hebrew} ^eBut you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
who are too little to be among the clans of ^fJudah,
from you shall come forth for me
one who is to be ^gruler in Israel,
^hwhose coming forth is ⁱfrom of old,
from ancient days.
