From the small

After Micah 5:1-5

From the small

comes the great,

from the too small

to be counted comes

the ruler, the king,

the fulfillment

of the promise, ancient.

The insignificant

becomes more, greater

than the mighty,

the significant paling

in comparison, not

because of what but

because of whom,

the unexpected born

of her whose time had come.
