Micah:4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD '
s house Shall be established on the top of the mountains ,
And shall be exalted above the hills ;
And peoples shall flow to it .
*
Many nations shall come and say , "
Come ,
and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD ,
To the house of the God of Jacob ;
He will teach us His ways ,
And we shall walk in His paths ."
For out of Zion the law shall go forth ,
And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem .
*
He shall judge between many peoples ,
And rebuke strong nations afar off ;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares ,
And their spears into pruning hooks ;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation ,
Neither shall they learn war anymore .
*
But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree ,
And no one shall make them afraid ;
For the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken .
*
For all people walk each in the name of his god ,
But we will walk in the name of the LORD our God Forever and ever .
* "
In that day ,"
says the LORD , "
I will assemble the lame ,
I will gather the outcast And those whom I have afflicted ;
*
I will make the lame a remnant ,
And the outcast a strong nation ;
So the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion From now on ,
even forever .
*
And you ,
O tower of the flock ,
The stronghold of the daughter of Zion ,
To you shall it come ,
Even the former dominion shall come ,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem ."
*
Now why do you cry aloud ?
Is there no king in your midst ?
Has your counselor perished ?
For pangs have seized you like a woman in labor .
*
Be in pain ,
and labor to bring forth ,
O daughter of Zion ,
Like a woman in birth pangs .
For now you shall go forth from the city ,
You shall dwell in the field ,
And to Babylon you shall go .
There you shall be delivered ;
There the LORD will redeem you From the hand of your enemies .
*
Now also many nations have gathered against you ,
Who say , "
Let her be defiled ,
And let our eye look upon Zion ."
*
But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD ,
Nor do they understand His counsel ;
For He will gather them like sheaves to the threshing floor .
* "
Arise and thresh ,
O daughter of Zion ;
For I will make your horn iron ,
And I will make your hooves bronze ;
You shall beat in pieces many peoples ;
I will consecrate their gain to the LORD ,
And their substance to the Lord of the whole earth ."
