Micah 4

1And at the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be manifest, established on the topsof the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and the peoples shall hasten to it. 2And many nations shall go, and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, andto the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall show us his way, and we will walk in his paths: for outof Sion shall go forth a law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 3And he shall judge among many peoples, and shall rebuke strong nations afar off; and theyshall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles; and nation shall no more liftup sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more. 4And every one shall rest under his vine, and every one under his fig tree; and there shallbe none to alarmthem: for the mouth of the Lord Almighty has spoken thesewords. 5For allother nations shall walk everyone in his own way, but we will walk in the name of the Lordour God for ever and ever. 6In that day, says the Lord, I will gather her that is bruised, and will receive her thatis cast out, and those whom I rejected. 7And I will make her that was bruised a remnant, and her that was rejected a mighty nation:and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Sion from henceforth, even for ever. 8And you, dark tower of the flock, daughter of Sion, on you the dominion shall come andenter in,even the first kingdom from Babylon to the daughter of Jerusalem. 9And now, why have you known calamities? was there not a king to you? or has your counselperished that pangs as of a woman in travail have seized upon you? 10Be in pain, and strengthen yourself, and draw near, O daughter of Sion, as a woman intravail: for now you shall go forth out of the city, and shall lodge in the plain, and shall reach evento Babylon: thence shall the Lord your God deliver you, and thence shall he redeem you out of the handof your enemies. 11And now have many nations gathered against you, saying, We will rejoice, and our eyesshall look upon Sion. 12But they know not the thought of the Lord, and have not understood his counsel: for hehas gathered them as sheaves of the floor. 13Arise, and thresh them, O daughter of Sion: for I will make your horns iron, and I willmake your hoofs brass: and you shall utterly destroy many nations, and shall consecrate their abundanceto the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of all the earth.
