[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.”
Therefore He will (E)give them up until the time
When she (F)who is in labor has given birth.
Then the (G)remainder of His kinsmen
Will return to the sons of Israel.
And He will arise and (H)shepherd His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.
And they will [b]remain,
Because [c]at that time He will be great
To the (I)ends of the earth.
