“1 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.
2 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. 3 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. 4 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]. 5 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. 6 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; 7 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.”
“8 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. 9 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. 10 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. 11 Now also
many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled,
and let our eye look upon Zion. 12 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. 13 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.” (Micah
4:1-13 AV)
