^2 [a]But as for ^(A)you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Too little to be among the clans of Judah,
From ^(B)you One will come forth for Me to be ^(C)ruler in Israel.
His times of coming forth are ^(D)from long ago,
From the days of eternity.”

11 When Israel was a youth I loved him,
And ^(A)out of Egypt I ^(B)called My son.
