Context of Micah 4:6

4And each man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree, with no one to frighten him. For the mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken. 5Though all the nations may walk in the name of their gods, yet we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever. “On that day,” declares the LORD, “I will gather the lame; I will assemble the outcast, even those whom I have afflicted. 7And I will make the lame into a remnant, the outcast into a strong nation. Then the LORD will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever. 8And you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion— the former dominion will be restored to you; sovereignty will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem.”
