THE LORD’S RULE FROM RESTORED ZION

4 In the last daysr

the mountain of the Lord’s houses

will be established

at the top of the mountains

and will be raised above the hills.

Peoples will stream to it,t

2 and many nations will come and say,u

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

to the house of the God of Jacob.

He will teach us about his waysw

so we may walk in his paths.”

For instruction will go out of Zionx

and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

3 He will settle disputes among many peoplesy

and provide arbitration for strong nations

that are far away.

They will beat their swords into plows

and their spears into pruning knives.

Nation will not take up the sword against nation,

and they will never again train for war.

4 But each person will sit under his grapevinez

and under his fig tree

with no one to frighten him.aa

For the mouth of the Lordab of Armies

has spoken.

5 Though all the peoples walk

in the name of their own gods,ac

we will walkad in the name of the Lord our God

forever and ever.ae

6 On that day—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

I will assemble the lame

and gather the scattered,af

those I have injured.

7 I will make the lame into a remnant,ag

those far removed into a strong nation.

Then the Lord will reign over themah in Mount Zion

from this time on and forever.

8 And you, watchtower for the flock,ai

fortified hillB of Daughter Zion,

the former ruleaj will come to you;

sovereignty will come to Daughter Jerusalem.

FROM EXILE TO VICTORY

9 Now, why are you shouting loudly?ak

Is there no king with you?

Has your counselor perishedal

so that anguish grips you like a woman in labor?

10 Writhe and cry out,C,am Daughter Zion,

like a woman in labor,

for now you will leave the cityan

and camp in the open fields.

You will go to Babylon;

there you will be rescued;ao

there the Lord will redeem youa

from the grasp of your enemies!

11 Many nations have now assembled against you;b

they say, “Let her be defiled,

and let us feast our eyes on Zion.”

12 But they do not know the Lord’s intentionsc

or understand his plan,

that he has gathered them

like sheaves to the threshing floor.

13 Rise and thresh,d Daughter Zion,

for I will make your horns iron

and your hooves bronze

so you can crush many peoples.e

Then youA will set apart their plunderf

for the Lord,

their wealth for the Lord of the whole earth.

	About Christian Standard Bible The Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible.
