And you, Bethlehem, house of Ephratha, are the least to be among the thousands of Judah; out of you shall come forth for me one who is to be a ruler in Israel, and his goings forth are from the beginning, from days of old.
And he shall stand and see and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord; and in the glory of the name of the Lord their God they shall abide, for now he shall be magnified to the ends of the earth.
And this one shall be peace. When the Assyrian comes into your land and when he treads upon your country, then seven shepherds and eight bites of men shall be raised up against him.
And they shall shepherd Asshur with the sword and the land of Nebrod in its trench. And he shall deliver from Asshur when he comes into your land and when he treads upon your borders.
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like dew falling from the Lord and like lambs upon the grass, so that no one may gather nor stand among the sons of men.
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts in the forest and like a young lion among flocks of sheep; when he passes through, he singles out and seizes, and there is no one to rescue.
