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.
Mic 4:2 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.
Mic 4:3 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.
Mic 4:4 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.
Mic 4:5 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.
Mic 4:6 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;
Mic 4:7 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.
Mic 4:8 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.
Mic 4:9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy
counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.
Mic 4:10 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.
Mic 4:11 Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let
her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
Mic 4:12 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.
Mic 4:13 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. |
