Micah 4

^aBut 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.

²And 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.

³And ^bhe shall judge among many people,

And rebuke ^cstrong 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.

^4dBut they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree;

^eAnd none shall make them afraid:

^fFor the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it.

⁵For ^gall people will walk every one in the name of his god,

And ^hwe will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

⁶ⁱIn that day, saith the Lord, ^kwill I assemble ^lmher that halteth,

And ^klI will gather ⁿher that is driven out,

And her that I have afflicted;

⁷And I will make ^lmher that halted ^oa remnant,

And her that was cast far off ^ca strong nation:

And ^prthe Lord shall reign over them ^qin mount Zion

^rFrom henceforth, even for ever.

⁸And thou, O tower of ^sthe flock,

^tThe strong hold of the daughter of Zion,

Unto thee shall it come, even ^uthe first dominion;

The kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.

⁹Now why dost thou cry out ^valoud?

^wIs there no king in thee?

^xIs thy counseller perished?

For ^ypangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.

^10zBe in pain, and ^alabour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, ^ylike a woman in travail:

For now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field,

And ^bthou shalt go even to Babylon; ^cthere shalt thou be delivered;

^cThere the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

¹¹Now also ^ccmany nations are gathered against thee,

That say, ^dLet her be defiled, and ^elet our eye look upon Zion.

¹²But ^fthey know not the thoughts of the Lord,

Neither understand they his counsel:

For ^ghe shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.

¹³Arise and ^hithresh, O daughter of Zion:

For I will make ^jthine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass:

And thou shalt ^ikbeat in pieces many people:

And I will ^lconsecrate ^mtheir gain unto the Lord,

And ⁿtheir substance unto ^othe Lord of the whole earth.
