Context of Micah 4:6

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. 5Though 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. “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. 8As for you, tower of the flock, Hill of the daughter of Zion, To you it will come-- Yes, the former dominion will come, The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
