Micah 5:2-5

2 1But as for 2you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From 3you One will come forth for Me to be 4ruler in Israel. His times of coming forth are 5from long ago, From the days of eternity.”3Therefore He will 6give them up until the time When she 7who is in labor has given birth. Then the 8remainder of His kinsmen Will return to the sons of Israel.4And He will arise and 9shepherd His flock In the strength of the Lord, In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God. And they will 10remain, Because 11at that time He will be great To the 12ends of the earth.5This One 13will be our peace. When the 14Assyrian invades our land, When he tramples on our 15citadels, Then we will raise against him Seven shepherds and eight leaders of people.
