Micah 5:2-6

2But thou, Beth–lehemH1035 EphratahH672, though thou be littleH6810 among the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063, yet out of thee shall he come forthH3318 unto me that is to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478; whose goings forthH4163 have been from of oldH6924, from everlastingH5769H3117.1 3Therefore will he give them upH5414, until the timeH6256 that she which travailethH3205 hath brought forthH3205: then the remnantH3499 of his brethrenH251 shall returnH7725 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

4And he shall standH5975 and feedH7462 in the strengthH5797 of YhwhH3068, in the majestyH1347 of the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 his GodH430; and they shall abideH3427: for now shall he be greatH1431 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776.2 5And this man shall be the peaceH7965, when the AssyrianH804 shall comeH935 into our landH776: and when he shall treadH1869 in our palacesH759, then shall we raiseH6965 against him sevenH7651 shepherdsH7462, and eightH8083 principalH5257 menH120.3 6And they shall wasteH7462 the landH776 of AssyriaH804 with the swordH2719, and the landH776 of NimrodH5248 in the entrancesH6607 thereof: thus shall he deliverH5337 us from the AssyrianH804, when he comethH935 into our landH776, and when he treadethH1869 within our bordersH1366.45
