Micah 5:2-5 2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,     though you are small among the clans[a] 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.”3 Therefore 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.4 He 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.5 And he will be our peace     when the Assyrians invade our land     and march through our fortresses
