11 A new branch will grow
    from a stump of a tree;
so a new king will come
    from the family of Jesse.^[a]

² “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
    though you are too small to be among the army groups from Judah,
from you will come one who will rule Israel for me.
    He comes from very old times,
    from days long ago.”
