Micah 5

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 5 of 7

1 Now gather yourself together, daughter of a troop; one sets a siege against us. They shall strike the One judging Israel with a rod on the cheek.

2 And you, Bethlehem Ephratah, being least among the thousands of Judah, out of you He shall come forth to Me to become One ruling in Israel; and His goings forth have been from aforetime, from the days of eternity.

3 Therefore He will give them until the time the one giving birth has given birth. And the rest of His brothers shall return to the sons of Israel.
