Transcript

But you,

Bethlehem Mephrathah,

Being small among the clans of Judah,

Out of you one will come out to me that is to be ruler in Israel,

Whose goings out are from old,

From ancient times.

Therefore he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labor gives birth.

Then the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Israel.

He shall stand and shall shepherd in the strength of Yahweh,

In the majesty of the name of Yahweh his God,

And they will live.

For then he will be great to the ends of the earth.

Micah chapter 5 verses 2 to 4.
