Micah 5:2-4
Names of God Bible
The Lord’s Leader for Israel
2 You, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
are too small to be included among Judah’s cities.
Yet, from you Israel’s future ruler will come for me.
His origins go back to the distant past, to days long ago.
3 That is why Yahweh will abandon Israel
until the time a mother has a child.
Then the rest of Yahweh’s people will return to the people of Israel.
4 The child will become the shepherd of his flock.
He will lead them with the strength of Yahweh,
with the majestic name of Yahweh his Elohim.
They will live in safety
because his greatness will reach the ends of the earth.

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.
