Micah 5:1-3

Common English Bible

5 ^[a] Now muster your troops, Daughter Troop!^[b]
        They have laid siege against us;
        with a rod they will strike the cheek of the judge of Israel.
² As for you, Bethlehem of Ephrathah,
    though you are the least significant of Judah’s forces,
        one who is to be a ruler in Israel on my behalf will come out from you.
    His origin is from remote times, from ancient days.
³ Therefore, he will give them up
        until the time when she who is in labor gives birth.
        The rest of his kin will return to the people of Israel.
