Micah 5:2-6

2“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans Or rulers of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”

3Therefore Israel will be abandoned until the time when she who is in labor bears a son, and the rest of his brothers return to join the Israelites.

4He will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. And they will live securely, for then his greatness will reach to the ends of the earth.

5And he will be our peace when the Assyrians invade our land and march through our fortresses. We will raise against them seven shepherds, even eight commanders,

6who will rule Or crush the land of Assyria with the sword, the land of Nimrod with drawn sword. Or Nimrod in its gates He will deliver us from the Assyrians when they invade our land and march across our borders.
