Micah 4

Peaceful Latter Days

^{Tools
1}

And it will come about in the ^(A)last days
That the ^(B)mountain of the house of the Lord
Will be established ^(a)as the chief of the mountains.
It will be raised above the hills,
And the ^(C)peoples will stream to it.

^{Tools
2}

^(D)Many nations will come and say,
“^(E)Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord
And to the house of the God of Jacob,
That ^(F)He may teach us about His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For ^(G)from Zion will go forth the law,
Even the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

^{Tools
3}

And He will ^(H)judge between many peoples
And render decisions for mighty, ^(b)distant nations.
Then they will hammer their swords ^(I)into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
And never again will they ^(c)train for war.

^{Tools

Each of them will ^(J)sit under his vine
And under his fig tree,
With ^(K)no one to make them afraid,
For the ^(L)mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.

^{Tools
5}

Though all the peoples walk
Each in the ^(M)name of his god,
As for us, ^(N)we will walk
In the name of the ^(O)Lord our God forever and ever.

^{Tools

“In that day,” declares the Lord,
“I will assemble the ^(P)lame
And ^(Q)gather the outcasts,
Even those whom I have afflicted.

^{Tools
7}

“I will make the lame a ^(R)remnant
And the outcasts a strong nation,
And the ^(S)Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on and forever.

^{Tools

“As for you, ^(d)^(T)tower of the flock,
^(e)Hill of the daughter of Zion,
To you it will come—
Even the ^(U)former dominion will come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

^{Tools

“Now, why do you ^(V)cry out loudly?
Is there no king among you,
Or has your ^(W)counselor perished,
That agony has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?

^{Tools
10}

“^(X)Writhe and labor to give birth,
Daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in childbirth;
For now you will ^(Y)go out of the city,
Dwell in the field,
And go to Babylon.
^(Z)There you will be rescued;
^(AA)There the Lord will redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.

^{Tools
11}

“And now ^(AB)many nations have been assembled against you
Who say, ‘Let her be polluted,
And let our eyes ^(f)gloat over Zion.’

^{Tools
12}

“But they do not ^(AC)know the thoughts of the Lord,
And they do not understand His purpose;
For He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.

^{Tools
13}

“Arise and ^(AD)thresh, daughter of Zion,
For your horn I will make iron
And your hoofs I will make bronze,
That you may ^(AE)pulverize many peoples,
That you may ^(AF)devote to the Lord their unjust gain
And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
