UMikha 5:2-5

“Kepha wena Bhethlehema Efratha, nakuba ungomncinyane emindenini yakwaJuda, ngiyakuvusa oyakuvela kuwe, uyakuba ngumbusi kwa-Israyeli, ondabuko yakhe ngeyasemandulo, ezinsukwini zaphakade.” Ngakho-ke uyakubakhaphela kuze kube yisikhathi sokuba okhulelweyo abelethe. Kuyakuthi lapho esebelethile, abafowabo abaseleyo babuyele kubantu bakwa-Israyeli. Uyakuma, eluse ngamandla kaSimakade nangobukhulu begama likaSimakade uNkulunkulu wakhe. Bayakuhlala bevikelekile, ngokuba uyakuba mkhulu kuze kube semaphethelweni omhlaba. Lokhu kuyakuba ngukuthula: kuyakuthi lapho i-Asiriya litheleka ezweni lethu, linyathela ezinqabeni zethu, simelane nalo ngabelusi abayisikhombisa nangezikhulu zabantu eziyisishiyagalombili.
