Book 33 : MICAH - Chapter 004
004:001
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
004:002
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
004:003
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
004:004
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
004:005
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
004:006
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
004:007
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
004:008
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
004:009
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
004:010
Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let
her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion
004:011
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
004:012
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
