Micah - Chapter 5

1And you, O Beit Lechem of Efrat, Least among the clans of Yehuda, From you one shall come forth To rule Yisrael for Me— One whose origin is from of old, From ancient times.

2Truly, He will leave them [helpless] Until she who is to bear has borne; Then the rest of his countrymen Shall return to the children of Yisrael.

3He shall stand and shepherd By the might of Hashem, By the power of the name Of Hashem his God, And they shall dwell [secure]. For lo, he shall wax great To the ends of the earth;

4And that shall afford safety. Should Assyria invade our land And tread upon our fortresses, We will set up over it seven shepherds, Eight princes of men,

5Who will shepherd Assyria's land with swords, The land of Nimrod in its gates. Thus he will deliver [us] From Assyria, should it invade our land, And should it trample our country.
