Micah 5:1-2
New International Reader's Version

A Promised Ruler Will Come From Bethlehem

5 Jerusalem, you are being attacked.
    So bring your troops together.
Our enemies have surrounded us.
    They want to slap the face of Israel’s ruler.

2 The Lord says,

“Bethlehem Ephrathah, you might not be
    an important town in the nation of Judah.
But out of you will come for me
    a ruler over Israel.
His family line goes back
    to the early years of your nation.
It goes all the way back
    to days of long ago.”

5 [a]Marshal your troops now, city of troops,
    for a siege is laid against us.
They will strike Israel’s ruler

    though you are small among the clans[b] of Judah,
out of you will come for me
    one who will be ruler(D) over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,(E)
    from ancient times.”(F)
