UMika 5:2-5

“Kepha wena Betlehema Efratha, omncane ukuba ube phakathi kwemindeni yakwaJuda, ngiyakuphunyelwa ngovela kuwe, ozakuba ngumbusi kwa-Israyeli, okuvela kwakhe kusukela endulo ezinsukwini zaphakade.” Ngalokho bayakukhashelwa, bese yibuyela insali yabafowabo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli. Uyakuma, aluse ngamandla kaJehova nangokuphakama kwegama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe; sebeyakuhlala, ngokuba uzakuba mkhulu kuze kube semajukujukwini omhlaba. Ukuthula kuyakuba yilokhu: lapho umAsiriya engena ezweni lakithi, anyathele ezindlini zethu zobukhosi, siyakumvusela abelusi abayisikhombisa nezikhulu zabantu eziyisishiyagalombili.
