Micah 5:1-2
International Children’s Bible

5 So, strong city, gather your soldiers together.
    We are surrounded and attacked.
The enemy will swing his club.
    He will hit the leader of Israel in the face.

The Ruler to Be Born in Bethlehem

2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
    are one of the smallest towns in Judah.
But from you will come one who will rule Israel for me.
    He comes from very old times,
    from days long ago.”
