 2Bethlehem Ephrath,
you are one of the smallest towns
 in the nation of Judah.
 But the LORD will choose
one of your people
to rule the nation--
someone whose family
goes back to ancient times.
3The LORD will abandon Israel
only until this ruler is born,
and the rest of his family
returns to Israel.
4Like a shepherd
taking care of his sheep,
this ruler will lead
and care for his people
by the power and glorious name
of the LORD his God.
His people will live securely,
and the whole earth will know
his true greatness,
 5 because he will bring peace.
Assyria Will Be Defeated Let Assyria attack our country
and our palaces.
We will counterattack,
led by a number of rulers
6whose strong army will defeat
the nation of Assyria.
Yes, our leaders will rescue us,
if those Assyrians
dare to invade our land.
