Today’s Scripture:

[a]Mobilize! Marshal your troops!    The enemy is laying siege to Jerusalem.They will strike Israel’s leader    in the face with a rod.

2 [b]But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,    are only a small village among all the people of Judah.Yet a ruler of Israel,    whose origins are in the distant past,    will come from you on my behalf.3 The people of Israel will be abandoned to their enemies    until the woman in labor gives birth.Then at last his fellow countrymen    will return from exile to their own land.4 And he will stand to lead his flock with the Lord’s strength,    in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.Then his people will live there undisturbed,    for he will be highly honored around the world.5     And he will be the source of peace.

When the Assyrians invade our land    and break through our defenses,we will appoint seven rulers to watch over us,    eight princes to lead us.6 They will rule Assyria with drawn swords    and enter the gates of the land of Nimrod.He will rescue us from the Assyrians    when they pour over the borders to invade our land.
