1 Saberi se sada u čete, četnice, opsedni nas, neka biju prutom po obrazu sudiju Izrailjevog. 2 A ti, Vitlejeme Efrato, ako i jesi najmanji među hiljadama Judinim, iz tebe će mi izaći koji će biti Gospodar u Izrailju, kome su izlasci od početka, od večnih vremena. 3 Zato će ih ostaviti dokle ne rodi ona koja će roditi; tada će se ostatak braće Njegove vratiti sa sinovima Izrailjevim. 4 I stajaće i pašće ih silom Gospodnjom, veličanstvom imena Gospoda Boga svog; i oni će nastavati, jer će On tada biti velik do krajeva zemlje. 5 I On će biti mir; kad dođe Asirac u našu zemlju, i kad stupi u dvore naše, tada ćemo podignuti na nj sedam pastira i osam knezova iz naroda. 6 I oni će opasti zemlju asirsku mačem i zemlju Nevrodovu na vratima njegovim; i On će nas izbaviti od Asirca kad dođe u našu zemlju i kad stupi na među našu. 7 I ostatak će Jakovljev biti usred mnogih naroda kao rosa od Gospoda i kao sitan dažd po travi, koja ne čeka čoveka niti se uzda u sinove čovečje. 8 I ostatak će Jakovljev biti među narodima, usred mnogih naroda, kao lav među zverima šumskim, kao lavić među stadima ovaca, koji kad ide tlači i rastrže, i nema nikoga da izbavi. 9 Ruka će ti se uzvisiti nad protivnicima tvojim i svi će se neprijatelji tvoji istrebiti. 10 I u ono ću vreme, govori Gospod, istrebiti konje isred tebe i potrću kola tvoja. 11 I zatrću gradove u tvojoj zemlji, i razvaliću sva tvrda mesta tvoja; 12 I istrebiću vračanje iz ruku tvojih, i nećeš imati gatare; 13 I istrebiću likove tvoje rezane i stupove tvoje isred tebe, i nećeš se više klanjati delu ruku svojih; 14 I iskoreniću gajeve tvoje isred tebe, i raskopaću gradove tvoje, 15 I izvršiću osvetu s gnevom i ljutinom na narodima koji ne slušaše.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
He spoke thus: "And thou, Bethlehem, the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah; for out of thee shall come forth a Governor, who shall feed My people." Now there is a village in the land of the Jews, thirty-five stadia from Jerusalem, in which Jesus Christ was born, as you can ascertain also from …
And He shall stand, and see, and feed His flock in the strength of the Lord, and in the dignity of the name of the Lord His God: for now shall He be magnified even to the utmost of the earth." The prophet Jonah, not so much by speech as by his own painful experience, prophesied Christ's death and resurrection …

And the place likewise, and the time, he puts down, to bring to our remembrance ancient prophecies; whereof one was uttered by Micah, saying, "And thou, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art by no means the least among the princes of Judah;" and the other by the patriarch Jacob, distinctly marking out to us the time, and setting forth …

Out of thee shall come forth unto Me a Ruler, who shall feed My people Israel: and His goings forth are from the beginning, from days of eternity.

For surely "his goings forth" were not "from of old, from everlasting." And how can that suit him which is said at the beginning, "Out of thee shall He come forth:" Zorobabel not having been born in Judæa, but in Babylon, whence also he was called Zorobabel, because he had his origin there?
