O Bethlehem
They say of thee, o Bethlehem,
          That thou art such a meager town.
          Thy name and deeds are not renowned;
          A tiny jewel in Judah’s crown,
                    in Israel’s diadem.
 
Yet out of thee, o Bethlehem,
          Shall come My King to rule the land
          With love and justice in His Hand,
          And truth and peace at His command,
                    o precious little gem.
But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.
Matthew 2:6  •  NIV
But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah,
out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.
Micah 5:2  •  NIV
