# Chapter 4
|
|
1. Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
|
|
That the mountain of the Lord's house
|
|
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
|
|
And shall be exalted above the hills;
|
|
And peoples shall flow to it.
|
|
|
|
2. Many nations shall come and say,
|
|
"Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
|
|
To the house of the God of Jacob;
|
|
He will teach us His ways,
|
|
And we shall walk in His paths."
|
|
For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
|
|
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
|
|
|
|
3. He shall judge between many peoples,
|
|
And rebuke strong nations afar off;
|
|
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 anymore.
|
|
|
|
4. But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree,
|
|
And no one shall make them afraid;
|
|
For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
|
|
|
|
5. For all people walk each in the name of his god,
|
|
But we will walk in the name of the Lord our God
|
|
Forever and ever.Zion's Future Triumph
|
|
|
|
6. "In that day," says the Lord,
|
|
"I will assemble the lame,
|
|
I will gather the outcast
|
|
And those whom I have afflicted;
|
|
|
|
7. I will make the lame a remnant,
|
|
And the outcast a strong nation;
|
|
So the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion
|
|
From now on, even forever.
|
|
|
|
8. And you, O tower of the flock,
|
|
The stronghold of the daughter of Zion,
|
|
To you shall it come,
|
|
Even the former dominion shall come,
|
|
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem."
|
|
|
|
9. Now why do you cry aloud?
|
|
Is there no king in your midst?
|
|
Has your counselor perished?
|
|
For pangs have seized you like a woman in labor.
|
|
|
|
10. Be in pain, and labor to bring forth,
|
|
O daughter of Zion,
|
|
Like a woman in birth pangs.
|
|
For now you shall go forth from the city,
|
|
You shall dwell in the field,
|
|
And to Babylon you shall go.
|
|
There you shall be delivered;
|
|
There the Lord will redeem you
|
|
From the hand of your enemies.
|
|
|
|
11. Now also many nations have gathered against you,
|
|
Who say, "Let her be defiled,
|
|
And let our eye look upon Zion."
|
|
|
|
12. But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord,
|
|
Nor do they understand His counsel;
|
|
For He will gather them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
|
|
|
|
13. "Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion;
|
|
For I will make your horn iron,
|
|
And I will make your hooves bronze;
|
|
You shall beat in pieces many peoples;
|
|
I will consecrate their gain to the Lord,
|
|
And their substance to the Lord of the whole earth."
