Micah 5:2-5
New International Version
2 “But you, Bethlehem(A) Ephrathah,(B)
though you are small among the clans[a] of Judah,
out of you will come for me
one who will be ruler(C) over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,(D)
from ancient times.”(E)
3 Therefore Israel will be abandoned(F)
until the time when she who is in labor bears a son,
and the rest of his brothers return
to join the Israelites.

The Coming Messiah
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.”
3 Therefore He shall give them up,
Until the time that (G)she who is in labor has given birth;
Then (H)the remnant of His brethren
Shall return to the children of Israel.
4 And He shall stand and (I)feed[b] 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 (J)shall be great
To the ends of the earth;
5 And this One (K)shall be peace.
Judgment on Israel’s Enemies
When the Assyrian comes into our land,
And when he treads in our palaces,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight princely 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;
