Micah 4
Peaceful Latter Days
1And it will comeH1961 about in the 1lastH319 daysH3117 That the 2mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 Will be establishedH3559 3as the chiefH7218 of the mountainsH2022. It will be raisedH5375 aboveH4480 the hillsH1389, And the 4peoplesH5971 will streamH5102 to it.25ManyH7227 nationsH1471 will comeH1980 and sayH559, “6ComeH1980 and let us goH5927 up to the mountainH2022 of the LordH3068 And to the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290, That 7He may teachH3384 us aboutH4480 His waysH1870 And that we may walkH1980 in His pathsH734.” For 8from ZionH6726 will goH3318 forthH3318 the lawH8451, Even the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 from JerusalemH3389.3And He will 9judgeH8199 betweenH996 manyH7227 peoplesH5971 And renderH3198 decisionsH3198 for mightyH6099, 10distantH7350 nationsH1471. Then they will hammerH3807 their swordsH2719 11into plowsharesH855 And their spearsH2595 into pruningH4211 hooksH4211; NationH1471 will not liftH5375 up swordH2719 againstH413 nationH1471, And neverH3808 againH5750 will they 12trainH3925 for warH4421.4EachH376 of them will 13sitH3427 underH8478 his vineH1612 And underH8478 his figH8384 treeH8384, With 14noH369 oneH369 to makeH2729 them afraidH2729, For the 15mouthH6310 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 has spokenH1696.5ThoughH3588 allH3605 the peoplesH5971 walkH1980 EachH376 in the 16nameH8034 of his godH430, As for us, 17we will walkH1980 In the nameH8034 of the 18LordH3068 our GodH430 foreverH5769 and everH5703.
6“In that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “I will assembleH622 the 19lameH6760 And 20gatherH6908 the outcastsH5080, Even those whomH834 I have afflictedH7489.7I will makeH7760 the lameH6760 a 21remnantH7611 And the outcastsH1972 a strongH6099 nationH1471, And the 22LordH3068 will reignH4427 overH5921 them in MountH2022 ZionH6726 From nowH6258 on and foreverH5704H5769.8As for you, 2324towerH4026 of the flockH5739, 25HillH6076 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, To you it will comeH857-- Even the 26formerH7223 dominionH4475 will comeH935, The kingdomH4467 of the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389.
9“NowH6258, whyH4100 do you 27cryH7321 out loudlyH7452? Is thereH369 noH369 kingH4428 among you, OrH518 has your 28counselorH3289 perishedH6, That agonyH2427 has grippedH2388 you like a woman in childbirthH3205?1029WritheH2342 and laborH1518 to giveH1518 birthH1518, DaughterH1323 of ZionH6726, Like a woman in childbirthH3205; For nowH6258 you will 30goH3318 out of the cityH7151, DwellH7931 in the fieldH7704, And goH935 to BabylonH894. 31ThereH8033 you will be rescuedH5337; 32ThereH8033 the LordH3068 will redeemH1350 you From the handH3709 of your enemiesH340.11And nowH6258 33manyH7227 nationsH1471 have been assembledH622 againstH5921 you Who sayH559, ‘Let her be pollutedH2610, And let our eyesH5869 34gloatH2372 over ZionH6726.’12But they do not 35knowH3045 the thoughtsH4284 of the LordH3068, And they do not understandH995 His purposeH6098; For He has gatheredH6908 them like sheavesH5995 to the threshingH1637 floorH1637.13AriseH6965 and 36threshH1758, daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, For your hornH7161 I will makeH7760 ironH1270 And your hoofsH6541 I will makeH7760 bronzeH5154, That you may 37pulverizeH1854 manyH7227 peoplesH5971, That you may 38devoteH2763 to the LordH3068 their unjustH1215 gainH1215 And their wealthH2428 to the LordH136 of allH3605 the earthH776.
