Micah 4:1–8

1  mIt shall come to pass in the latter days

that the mountain of the house of the Lord

shall be established as the highest of the mountains,

and it shall be lifted up above the hills;

and npeoples shall flow to it,

2  and omany nations shall come, and say:

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,

to the house of the God of Jacob,

that he may teach us his ways

and that we may walk in his paths.”

For pout of Zion shall go forth the law,1

and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

3  He shall judge between many peoples,

and shall decide disputes for strong nations far away;

and they shall beat their qswords into plowshares,

and their spears into pruning hooks;

rnation shall not lift up sword against nation,

neither shall they learn war anymore;

4  sbut they shall sit tevery man under his vine and under his fig tree,

and uno one shall make them afraid,

for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.

5  For all the peoples walk

each in the name of its god,

but we will vwalk in the name of the Lord our God

forever and ever.

6  In that day, declares the Lord,

I will wassemble the xlame

and gather those who have been driven away

and those whom I have afflicted;

7  and the lame I will make the yremnant,

and those who were cast off, a strong nation;

and the Lord will zreign over them in Mount Zion

from this time forth and forevermore.

8  And you, O tower of the flock,

hill of the daughter of Zion,

to you shall it come,

the former dominion shall come,

kingship for the daughter of Jerusalem.
