Micah 5:1-3

English Standard Version

5 ^[a] Now muster your troops, O daughter^[b] of troops;
    siege is laid against us;
with a rod ^(A)they strike the judge of Israel
    on the cheek.
^{2 [c] (B)}But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
    who are too little to be among the clans of ^(C)Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
    one who is to be ^(D)ruler in Israel,
^(E)whose coming forth is ^(F)from of old,
    from ancient days.
³ Therefore he shall give them up ^(G)until the time
    when she who is in labor has given birth;
then ^(H)the rest of his brothers shall return
    to the people of Israel.
