 |
|
Micah 4:1
|
|
And it will come about in the last days That
the mountain of the house of the LORD Will be established as the chief of the
mountains. It will be raised above the hills, And the peoples will stream to it. |
|
|
|
|
|
Micah 4:2
|
|
Many nations will come and say, "Come and let
us go up to the mountain of the LORD And to the house of the God of Jacob, That
He may teach us about His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For from Zion
will go forth the law, Even the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. |
| |
|
|
|
Micah 4:3
|
|
And He will judge between many peoples And render
decisions for mighty, distant nations. Then they will hammer their swords into
plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation will not lift up sword
against nation, And never again will they train for war. |
| |
|
|
|
Micah 4:4

Each of them will sit under his vine And under
his fig tree, With no one to make them afraid, For the mouth of the LORD of hosts
has spoken. |

Though all the peoples walk Each in the name
of his god, As for us, we will walk In the name of the LORD our God forever and
ever. |

a strong nation, And the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion From now on and
forever. |
|

"As for you, tower of the flock, Hill of the
daughter of Zion, To you it will come-- Even the former dominion will come, The
kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem |
|
|
|
|
Micah 4:9
|
|
"Now, why do you cry out loudly? Is there no
king among you, Or has your counselor perished, That agony has gripped you like
a woman in childbirth? |
|
|
|
|
Micah 4:10
|
|
"Writhe and labor to give birth, Daughter of
Zion, Like a woman in childbirth; For now you will go out of the city, Dwell in
the field, And go to Babylon. There you will be rescued; There the LORD will redeem
you From the hand of your enemies. |
|
|
|
|

"And now many nations have been assembled against
you Who say, 'Let her be polluted, And let our eyes gloat over Zion.' |
|

And they do not understand His purpose; For He has gathered them like sheaves
to the threshing floor. |
|
|

|
|
"Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion, For your
horn I will make iron And your hoofs I will make bronze, That you may pulverize
many peoples, That you may devote to the LORD their unjust gain And their wealth
to the Lord of all the earth. |
