Micah 5:1-5
Micah 5:1-5 NCV
So, strong city, gather your soldiers together, because we are surrounded and attacked. They will hit the leader of Israel in the face with a club. “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are too small to be among the army groups from Judah, from you will come one who will rule Israel for me. He comes from very old times, from days long ago.” The LORD will give up his people until the one who is having a baby gives birth; then the rest of his relatives will return to the people of Israel. At that time the ruler of Israel will stand and take care of his people with the LORD’s strength and with the power of the name of the LORD his God. The Israelites will live in safety, because his greatness will reach all over the earth. He will bring peace.
