Micah:4-5
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 gib #
ah #;
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 Ya #
aqob #;
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 t @#
en #;
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 sh @#
eriyth #,
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 #
Migdal -#
Eder #,
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 .
*
Now gather thyself in troops ,
O daughter of troops :
he hath laid siege against us :
they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek .
*
But thou ,
Bethlehem BeythEphratah ,
though thou be little among the thousands of Judah ,
yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel Yisra #
el #;
whose goings forth have been from of old ,
from everlasting yowm #.
*
Therefore will he give them up ,
until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth :
then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD ,
in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God ;
and they shall abide :
for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth .
*
And this man shall be the peace ,
when the Assyrian shall come into our land :
and when he shall tread in our palaces ,
then shall we raise against him seven shepherds ,
and eight principal men .
*
And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword ,
and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof :
thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian ,
when he cometh into our land ,
and when he treadeth within our borders .
*
And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD ,
as the showers upon the grass ,
that tarrieth not for man ,
nor waiteth for the sons of men .
*
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest ya #
ar #,
as a young lion among the flocks of sheep tso #
n #:
who ,
if he go through ,
both treadeth down ,
and teareth in pieces ,
and none can deliver .
*
Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries ,
and all thine enemies shall be cut off .
*
And it shall come to pass in that day ,
saith the LORD ,
that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee ,
and I will destroy thy chariots :
*
And I will cut off the cities #
of thy land ,
and throw down all thy strong holds :
*
And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand ;
and thou shalt have no more soothsayers :
*
Thy graven images also will I cut off ,
and thy standing images out of the midst of thee ;
and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands .
*
And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee :
so will I destroy thy cities #.
*
And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen ,
such as they have not heard .
*
Hear ye now what the LORD saith ;
Arise ,
contend thou before the mountains ,
and let the hills hear thy voice .
