Better Days Ahead for Jerusalem

4:1In the future1 the Lord’s Temple Mount will be the most important mountain of all;2

it will be more prominent than other hills.3

People will stream to it.

4:2Many nations will come, saying,

“Come on! Let’s go up to the Lord’s mountain,

to the temple4 of Jacob’s God,

so he can teach us his commands5

and we can live by his laws.”6

For Zion will be the source of instruction;

the Lord’s teachings will proceed from Jerusalem.7

It 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 peoples shall flow to it,

and many 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 out of Zion shall go forth the law,

and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established

and peoples will stream to it.

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

to the temple of the God of Jacob.

He will teach us his ways,

In the last days

the mountain of the Lord’s house

will be established

at the top of the mountains

and will be raised above the hills.

Peoples will stream to it,

and many nations will come and say,

“Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord,

to the house of the God of Jacob.

He will teach us about his ways

so we may walk in his paths.”

For instruction will go out of Zion

and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

NLTNew Living Translation

In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house

will be the highest of all—

the most important place on earth.

It will be raised above the other hills,

and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.

People from many nations will come and say,

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

to the house of Jacob’s God.

There he will teach us his ways,

and we will walk in his paths.”

For the Lord’s teaching will go out from Zion;

his word will go out from Jerusalem.

And it will be that at the end of those days,

the mountain of the house of Yahweh

will be established as the highest of the mountains,

and it will be lifted up above the hills,

and people will stream to it.

And many nations will come and say,

“Come! Let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh,

and to the temple of the God of Jacob,

that he may teach us his ways,

and that we may walk in his paths,”

for the law will go out from Zion,

and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

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.
