A Ruler from Bethlehem
5Verse 1Now, O daughter of troops,mobilize your troops;for a siege is laid against us!With a rod they will strike the cheekof the judge of Israel.Verse 2But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,who are small among the clans+of Judah,out of you will come forth for MeOne to be ruler over Israel+—One whose origins are of old,from the days of eternity.Verse 3Therefore Israel will be abandoneduntil she who is in labor has given birth;then the rest of His brothers will returnto the children of Israel.Verse 4He will stand and shepherd His flockin the strength of the LORD,
in the majestic name of the LORD His God.And they will dwell securely,for then His greatness will extend
to the ends of the earth.Verse 5And He will be our peace+when Assyria invades our land
and tramples our citadels.We will raise against it seven shepherds,even eight leaders of men.Verse 6And they will rule the land of Assyria with the sword,and the land of Nimrod with the blade drawn.So He will deliver uswhen Assyria invades our land
and marches into our borders.
