Micah:4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 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 .
*
Now also many nations are gathered against thee ,
that say ,
Let her be defiled ,
and let our eye look upon Zion .
*
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 .
*
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 .
