III. |Jehovah's comfort to Israel (cont'd)4:1-5:15

Micah|4:1|-||1a|But in the last daysThe |b|mountain of the house of JehovahWill be established on the top of the mountains;And it will be lifted up above the hills;And the peoples will stream to it.
Micah|4:2|-|And many nations will come and say,Come and let us go up to the mountain of JehovahAnd to the house of the God of Jacob;That He may instruct us in His ways,And that we may walk in His paths;For from Zion will go forth instruction,And the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
Micah|4:3|-|And He will judge between many peoplesAnd will decide matters for numerous nations from afar.And they will |a|beat their swords into plowsharesAnd their spears into pruning knives;Nation will not lift up sword against nation,Nor will they learn |b|war anymore.Micah|4:4|-|And they will each sit underneath his |a|vineAnd underneath his fig tree,And no one will disturb them;For the mouth of Jehovah of hosts has spoken.Micah|4:5|-|For all the peoples will walk,Each in the name of his god;But we will |a|walkIn the name of Jehovah our GodForever and ever.
Micah|4:6|-|In that day,Declares Jehovah,I will gather her that limps,And her that has been driven out I will collect,As well as her that I have afflicted;
Micah|4:7|-|And I will make her that limps a |a|remnant,And her that has been cast far away a mighty nation;And Jehovah will |b|reign over them in Mount ZionFrom then on, and even forever.Micah|4:8|-|And you, O tower of the flock,O hill of the daughter of Zion,To you will it come,Indeed the first dominion will come,The kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.
Micah|4:9|-|Why do you now cry out aloud?Is there no king among you?Has your counselor perished,That pain has seized you like a |a|woman delivering a child?Micah|4:10|-|Suffer the pain and thrust forth,O daughter of Zion, like a woman delivering a child.For now you will go forth from the cityAnd dwell in the field;And you will go into Babylon.And there you will be delivered;There Jehovah will redeem youFrom the hand of your enemies.Micah|4:11|-|And now many nationsAre |a|gathered against you,They who say, Let her be profaned,And let our eyes gaze on Zion.Micah|4:12|-|But they do not knowThe |a|thoughts of Jehovah,And they do not understand His counsel;For He has gathered them like sheaves for the |b|threshing floor.Micah|4:13|-|Arise and |a|thresh, O daughter of Zion;For I will make your horn iron,And I will make your hooves bronze;And you will |b|crush many peoples to powder.And I will devote their profit to Jehovah,And their substance to the |c|Lord of the whole earth.
