Micah 4:1–8

The Lord’s Reign in Zion

4Now ^ait shall come to pass in the latter days

That the mountain of the Lord’s house

Shall be established on the top of the mountains,

And shall be exalted above the hills;

And peoples shall flow to it.

²Many nations shall come and say,

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

To the house of the God of Jacob;

He will teach us His ways,

And we shall walk in His paths.”

For out of Zion the law shall go forth,

And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

³He shall judge between many peoples,

And rebuke strong nations afar off;

They shall beat their swords into ^bplowshares,

And their spears into ¹pruning hooks;

Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,

^cNeither shall they learn war anymore.

^4dBut everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree,

And no one shall make them afraid;

For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.

⁵For all people walk each in the name of his god,

But ^ewe will walk in the name of the Lord our God

Forever and ever.

Zion’s Future Triumph

⁶“In that day,” says the Lord,

^f“I will assemble the lame,

^gI will gather the outcast

And those whom I have afflicted;

⁷I will make the lame ^ha remnant,

And the outcast a strong nation;

So the Lord ⁱwill reign over them in Mount Zion

From now on, even forever.

⁸And you, O tower of the flock,

The stronghold of the daughter of Zion,

To you shall it come,

Even the former dominion shall come,

The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.”
