Context of Micah 4:5

3And He will judge between many peoples And render decisions for mighty, distant nations. Then they will beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation will not lift a sword against nation, And never again will they train for war. 4Instead, each of them will sit under his vine And under his fig tree, With no one to make them afraid, Because the mouth of the Lord of armies 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. 6“On that day,” declares the Lord, “I will assemble those who limp And gather the scattered, Those whom I have afflicted. 7I will make those who limp a remnant, And those who have strayed a mighty nation, And the Lord will reign over them on Mount Zion From now on and forever.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Every one in the name of his god - This shall be the state of the Gentile world; but after the captivity, the Jews walked in the name of Jehovah alone; and acknowledge no other object of religious worship to the present day.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5For all people well walk, every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God - Hitherto unsteadfastness had been the very characteristic sin of Israel. It was, “constant only in its inconstancy,” ever “falling away like their forefathers, starting aside like a broken bow” Psalm 78:57. The pagan persevered in their worship, because it was evil or had evil in it, not checking but feeding their passions. Israel did not…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-5Micah's prophecy shifts from deep despair to a burst of hope as he describes the future rise of Mount Zion in Jerusalem. God's plan to bless all nations (Genesis 12:3) through Abraham's descendants will come true when people from all nations gather at the Lord's house to worship. There: they will learn to follow God's laws and teachings; these laws and teachings will spread among the nations as they leave God's house; peace and well-being will grow as…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 55. For--rather, Though it be that all people walk after their several gods, yet we (the Jews in the dispersion) will walk in the name of the Lord. So the Hebrew particle means in the Margin, Ge 8:21; Ex 13:17; Jos 17:18. The resolution of the exile Jews is: As Jehovah gives us hope of so glorious a restoration, notwithstanding the overthrow of our temple and nation, we must in confident reliance on His promise persevere in the true worship of Him, however…Read the comment
