NASB — Micah 5 — KJV

Birth of the King in Bethlehem

  1INow° muster° yourselves in troops°, daughter° of troops°;
  IIThey have laid° siege° against° us;
  With a rod° they will asmite° the judge° of Israel° on the cheek°.
  2IBut as for ayou, Bethlehem° Ephrathah°,
  [Too] little° to be among the clans° of Judah°,
  From byou One will go° forth° for Me to be cruler° in Israel°.
  IIHis goings° forth° are dfrom long° ago°,
  From the days° of eternity°.”
  3 Therefore° He will agive° them [up] until° the time°
  When she bwho is in labor° has borne° a child.
  Then the cremainder° of His brethren°
  Will return° to the sons° of Israel°.
  4 And He will arise° and ashepherd° [His flock]
  In the strength° of the LORD°,
  In the majesty° of the name° of the LORD° His God°.
  And they will Iremain°,
  Because° IIat that time° He will be great°
  To the bends° of the earth°.
  5 This° One° awill be [our] peace°.
  When° the bAssyrian° invades° our land°,
  When° he tramples° on our Icitadels°,
  Then we will raise° against° him
  Seven° shepherds° and eight° leaders° of men°.
  6 They will ashepherd° the land° of Assyria° with the sword°,
  The land° of bNimrod° at its entrances°;
  And He will cdeliver° [us] from the Assyrian°
  When° he attacks° our land°
  And when° he tramples° our territory°.
