* It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains , and shall be raised up above the hills ; and peoples shall flow to it , * and many nations shall come , and say : "Come , let us go up to the mountain of the LORD , to the house of the God of Jacob ; that he may teach us his ways and we may walk in his paths ." For out of Zion shall go forth the law , and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem . * He shall judge between many peoples , and shall decide for strong nations afar off ; and 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 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 has spoken . * For all the peoples walk each in the name of its god , but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever . * In that day , says the LORD , I will assemble the lame and gather those who have been driven away , and those whom I have afflicted ; * and the lame I will make the remnant ; and those who were cast off , a strong nation ; and the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion from this time forth and for evermore . * And you , O tower of the flock , hill of the daughter of Zion , to you shall it come , the former dominion shall come , the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem . * Now why do you cry aloud ? Is there no king in you ? Has your counselor perished , that pangs have seized you like a woman in travail ? * Writhe and groan , O daughter of Zion , like a woman in travail ; for now you shall go forth from the city and dwell in the open country ; you shall go to Babylon . There you shall be rescued , there the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies . * Now many nations are assembled against you , saying , "Let her be profaned , and let our eyes gaze upon Zion ." * But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD , they do not understand his plan , that he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor . * Arise and thresh , O daughter of Zion , for I will make your horn iron and your hoofs bronze ; you shall beat in pieces many peoples , and shall devote their gain to the LORD , their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth .
