² “But you, ^(A)Bethlehem ^(B)Ephrathah,
Though you are little ^(C)among the ^(D)thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be ^(E)Ruler in Israel,
^(F)Whose goings forth are from of old,
From ^[a]everlasting.”

⁴ And He shall stand and ^(A)feed^[a] His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God;
And they shall abide,
For now He ^(B)shall be great
To the ends of the earth;
