[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. [4] And he shall stand and feed in the strength in the majesty of the name his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
