After Micah 5:2-5
These are the labor pains,
the days of oppression
and cruelty, the days
of war and unrest,
the days of violence.
We are living through
the labor pains, as
the birth is imminent,
the birth foretold
from the ancient days,
the one who would
rule, who will
end the oppression,
end the cruelty and
war, will end unrest
and the violence.
The day is coming.
