Micah 5:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 “[a]But as for (A)you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Too little to be among the clans of Judah,
From (B)you One will go forth for Me to be (C)ruler in Israel.
[b]His goings forth are (D)from long ago,
From the days of eternity.”
3 Therefore He will (E)give them up until the time
When she (F)who is in labor has borne a child.
Then the (G)remainder of His brethren
Will return to the sons of Israel.
4 And He will arise and (H)shepherd His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.
And they will [c]remain,
Because [d]at that time He will be great
To the (I)ends of the earth.
Micah 5:2-4
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.
