Micah 5:2-5
King James Version
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
5 And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.

2 [a] (A)But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
who are too little to be among the clans of (B)Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
one who is to be (C)ruler in Israel,
(D)whose coming forth is (E)from of old,
from ancient days.
3 Therefore he shall give them up (F)until the time
when she who is in labor has given birth;
then (G)the rest of his brothers shall return
to the people of Israel.
4 And he shall stand (H)and shepherd his flock (I)in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now (J)he shall be great
to the ends of the earth.
5 And he shall be (K)their peace.
(L)When the Assyrian comes into our land
and treads in our palaces,
then we will raise against him seven (M)shepherds
and eight princes of men;
