Micah 4

(Isaiah 2:1–4)

In the lastH319 daysH3117 the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068will beH1961 establishedH3559 as the chiefH7218 of the mountainsH2022;it will be raisedH5375 aboveH1931 the hillsH1389,and the peoplesH5971 will streamH5102 to itH5921.

2And manyH7227 nationsH1471 will comeH1980 and sayH559:

“ComeH1980, let us go upH5927 toH413 the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068,toH413 the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290.He will teach usH3384 His waysH1870,so that we may walkH1980 in His pathsH734.”

ForH3588 the lawH8451 will go forthH3318 from ZionH6726and the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 from JerusalemH3389.3Then He will judgeH8199 betweenH996 manyH7227 peoplesH5971and arbitrateH3198 for strongH6099 H5704 nationsH1471 far and wideH7350.Then they will beatH3807 their swordsH2719 into plowsharesH855and their spearsH2595 into pruning hooksH4211.NationH1471 will no longerH3808 take upH5375 the swordH2719 againstH413 nationH1471,norH3808 will they trainH3925 anymoreH5750 for warH4421.4And each manH376 will sitH3427 underH8478 his own vineH1612and underH8478 his own fig treeH8384,with noH369 one to frighten himH2729.ForH3588 the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 has spokenH1696.

5ThoughH3588 allH3605 H376 the nationsH5971 may walkH1980 in the nameH8034 of their godsH430, yet weH587 will walkH1980 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 foreverH5769 and everH5703.

6“On thatH1931 dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068,“I will gatherH622 the lameH6760;I will assembleH6908 the outcastH5080,even those whomH834 I have afflictedH7489.7And I will makeH7760 the lameH6760 into a remnantH7611,the outcastH1972 into a strongH6099 nationH1471.Then the LORDH3068 will ruleH4427 over themH5921 in MountH2022 ZionH6726from that dayH6258 and foreverH5704 H5769.8And youH859, O watchtowerH4029 of the flockH4029,O strongholdH6076 1 of the DaughterH1323 of ZionH6726—the formerH7223 dominionH4475 will be restoredH857 to youH5704;sovereigntyH4467 will comeH935 to the DaughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389.”

9WhyH4100 do you nowH6258 cryH7321 aloudH7452?Is there noH369 kingH4428 among you?HasH518 your counselorH3289 perishedH6so thatH3588 anguishH2427 grips youH2388 like a woman in laborH3205?10WritheH2342 in agonyH1518, O DaughterH1323 of ZionH6726,like a woman in laborH3205.ForH3588 nowH6258 you will leaveH3318 the cityH7151and campH7931 in the open fieldsH7704.You will goH935 toH5704 BabylonH894;thereH8033 you will be rescuedH5337;thereH8033 the LORDH3068 will redeem youH1350from the handH3709 of your enemiesH341!

11But nowH6258 manyH7227 nationsH1471have assembledH622 against youH5921,sayingH559, “Let her be defiledH2610,and let us feast our eyesH2372 H5869 on ZionH6726.”12But theyH1992 do notH3808 knowH3045 the thoughtsH4284 of the LORDH3068orH3808 understandH995 His planH6098,forH3588 He has gathered themH6908like sheavesH5995 to the threshing floorH1637.13RiseH6965 and threshH1758, O DaughterH1323 of ZionH6726,forH3588 I will give youH7760 hornsH7161 of ironH1270and hoovesH6541 H7760 of bronzeH5154to break to piecesH1854 manyH7227 peoplesH5971.Then you will devoteH2763 2 their gainH1215 to the LORDH3068,their wealthH2428 to the LordH113 of allH3605 the earthH776.
