- 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.
For the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.Next verse!With image
