1. Now, daughter who is under attack,you slash yourself in grief;a siege is set against us!They are striking the judge of Israelon the cheek with a rod.
2. Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are small among the clans of Judah;One will come from you to be ruler over Israel for Me. His origin is from antiquity, from eternity.
3. Therefore, He will abandon them until the timewhen she who is in labor has given birth;then the rest of His brothers will returnto the people of Israel.
