11 A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse,
    and a branch shall grow^[a] out of his roots.^(A)

^2 [a]But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah,
    who are one of the little clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
    one who is to rule in Israel,
whose origin is from of old,
    from ancient days.^(A)
