The Messiah: Birth at Bethlehem

The Messiah
Birth at Bethlehem

Micah 5
A Promised Ruler From Bethlehem

1 Marshal your troops, O city of troops, [a]

for a siege is laid against us.

They will strike Israel's ruler

on the cheek with a rod.

2 "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,

though you are small

among the clans [b] of Judah,

out of you will come for me

one who will be ruler over Israel,

whose origins [c] are from of old,

from ancient times. [d] "
