a reading from the Book of Micah, chapter 5, verses 1-4:But you, Bethlehem-Ephrathah,
too small to be among the clans of Judah,
From you shall come forth for me
one who is to be the Ruler of Israel.
Whose origin is from of old,
from ancient times.
Therefore the Lord will give them up, until the time
when she who is to give birth has born.
He shall stand firm and shepherd his flock
by the strength of the LORD
in the majestic name of the LORD,
his God.
And they shall remain, for now his greatness
shall reach to the ends of the earth;
he shall be peace.
