Micah 5:2-6
Christian Standard Bible
2 Bethlehem Ephrathah,(A)
you are small among the clans of Judah;
one will come from you(B)
to be ruler over Israel for me.(C)
His origin[a] is from antiquity,(D)
from ancient times.
3 Therefore, Israel will be abandoned(E) until the time
when she who is in labor(F) has given birth;
then the rest of the ruler’s brothers(G) will return
to the people of Israel.(H)
4 He will stand and shepherd them(I)
in the strength of the Lord,
in the majestic name of the Lord his God.
They will live securely,
for then his greatness will extend
to the ends of the earth.(J)
5 He will be their peace.(K)
When Assyria invades our land,(L)
when it marches against our fortresses,
we will raise against it seven shepherds,
even eight leaders of men.
6 They will shepherd(M) the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(N) with a drawn blade.[b]
So he will rescue us(O) from Assyria
when it invades our land,
when it marches against our territory.
Micah 5:2-6
New International Version
2 “But you, Bethlehem(A) Ephrathah,(B)
though you are small among the clans[a] of Judah,
out of you will come for me
one who will be ruler(C) over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,(D)
from ancient times.”(E)
3 Therefore Israel will be abandoned(F)
until the time when she who is in labor bears a son,
and the rest of his brothers return
to join the Israelites.
4 He will stand and shepherd his flock(G)
in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they will live securely, for then his greatness(H)
will reach to the ends of the earth.
5 And he will be our peace(I)
when the Assyrians invade(J) our land
and march through our fortresses.
We will raise against them seven shepherds,
even eight commanders,(K)
6 who will rule[b] the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(L) with drawn sword.[c](M)
He will deliver us from the Assyrians
when they invade our land
and march across our borders.(N)
