Micah 5:1-3

Micah 5:1-3

[1] Now gather  thyself in troops,  O daughter  of troops:  he hath laid  siege  against us: they shall smite  the judge  of Israel  with a rod  upon the cheek.  [2] But thou, Bethlehem  Ephratah,  though thou be little  among the thousands  of Judah,  yet out of thee shall he come forth  unto me that is to be ruler  in Israel;  whose goings forth  have been from of old,  from everlasting.  [3] Therefore will he give them up,  until the time  that she which travaileth  then the remnant  of his brethren  shall return  unto the children  of Israel.
