Micah:4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But it shall come to pass in the last of the times [
that ]
the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the top of the mountains and higher than all the hills ,
and peoples shall flow unto it .
*
And many Gentiles 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 from Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem .
*
And he shall judge among many peoples and correct strong nations even 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 train for war any more .
*
But each one shall sit under their vine and under their fig tree ,
and no one shall make [
them ]
afraid ,
for the mouth of the LORD of the hosts has spoken [
it ].
*
Even if all the peoples should walk each one in the name of their gods ;
with all this we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and eternally .
*
In that day ,
saith the LORD ,
I will assemble her that is lame ,
and I will gather her that is driven out ,
and her that I have afflicted ,
*
and I will make her that is lame to be heirs ,
and her that was cast off a strong nation ,
and the LORD shall reign over them in the mount of Zion from now ,
and for evermore .
*
And thou ,
O tower of the flock ,
the stronghold of the daughter of Zion shall come unto thee ;
and the dominion shall come first ,
the kingdom ,
to the daughter of Jerusalem .
*
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 .
*
Be in pain ,
and labour to bring forth ,
O daughter of Zion ,
like a woman in travail ;
for now thou shalt 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 .
*
But now many nations are gathered against thee that say ,
Let her be defiled ,
and let our eyes see our desire [
carried out ]
upon Zion .
*
But they did not know the thoughts of the LORD ,
neither did they understand his counsel by which he gathered them as sheaves onto the [
threshing ]
floor .
*
Arise and thresh ,
O daughter of Zion ;
for I will make thine horn iron ,
and I will make thy hoofs bronze ;
and thou shalt break in pieces many peoples ;
and thou shalt consecrate their spoil unto the LORD and their riches unto the Lord of the whole earth .:
