Bible, King James Version
Micah
Mic.4
[1] But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the
mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top
of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and
people shall flow unto it.
[2] And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us
go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of
Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his
paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the
LORD from Jerusalem.
[3] And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke
strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into
plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not
lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any
more.
[4] But they shall sit every man under his vine and under
his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of
the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.
[5] For all people will walk every one in the name of his
god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever
and ever.
[6] In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that
halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I
have afflicted;
[7] And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her
that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign
over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
[8] And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the
daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first
dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of
Jerusalem.
[9] Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in
thee? is thy counseller perished? for pangs have taken thee as a
woman in travail.
[10] Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of
Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of
the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go
even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD
shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
[11] Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that
say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
[12] But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither
understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the
sheaves into the floor.
[13] Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make
thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt
beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto
the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole
earth.
