Micah 4
1But in the last days it shall come to pass, 1 That the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, 1 And it shall be exalted above the hills; 1 And people shall flow unto it. 1
2And many nations shall come, and say, 1 Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, 1 And to the house of the God of Jacob; 1 And he will teach us of his ways, 1 And we will walk in his paths: 1 For the law shall go forth of Zion, 1 And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 1
3And he shall judge among many people, 1 And rebuke strong nations afar off; 1 And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, 1 And their spears into pruninghooks: 1 Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, 1 Neither shall they learn war any more. 1
4But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; 1 And none shall make them afraid: 1 For the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it. 1
5For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, 1 And we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever. 1
6In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, 1 And I will gather her that is driven out, 1 And her that I have afflicted; 1
7And I will make her that halted a remnant, 1 And her that was cast far off a strong nation: 1 And the Lord shall reign over them in mount Zion 1 From henceforth, even for ever. 1
8And thou, O tower of the flock, 1 The strong hold of the daughter of Zion, 1 Unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; 1 The kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. 1
9Now why dost thou cry out aloud? 1 Is there no king in thee? 1 Is thy counseller perished? 1 For pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. 1
10Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: 1 For now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, 1 And thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; 1 There the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. 1
11Now also many nations are gathered against thee, 1 That say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. 1
12But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, 1 Neither understand they his counsel: 1 For he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor. 1
13Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: 1 For I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: 1 And thou shalt beat in pieces many people: 1 And I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, 1 And their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
