Micah Chapter 4 (Passion Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ In the future, the mountain of Yahweh’s temple will be raised up as the head of the mountains, towering over all the hills. A sparkling stream of every nation will flow into it.

² Many peoples will come and say, “Everyone, come! Let’s go up higher to Yahweh’s mountain, to the house of Jacob’s God; then he can teach us his ways, and we can walk in his paths.” Zion will be the center of instruction, and the word of Yahweh will go out from Jerusalem.

³ He will judge fairly between strong, distant nations and settle disputes among many peoples. The swords they used against each other they will beat into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. No nation will take up weapons against another, nor will they prepare for war anymore.

⁴ But everyone will relax under their own fig trees and vineyards with no one to trouble them. For Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies, has decreed it.

⁵ Though all the nations walk in the name of their own gods, we will walk in the name of Yahweh, our God, forever and ever. The Scattered Flock Returns to Zion

⁶ I, Yahweh, declare: “In that day of hope I will gather the lame and bring together the wandering outcasts and those whom I have bruised.

⁷ I will make a new beginning with those who are crippled and far from home. My remnant will be transformed into a mighty nation. And I, Yahweh, will reign over them on Mount Zion from now and throughout eternity.

⁸ “And to you, Tower of the Flock, where the daughter of Zion is lifted up, your royal dominion will arrive. His kingship will come to you, Daughter Jerusalem.” The Siege and Exile of Jerusalem

⁹ Why are you wailing? Why are you writhing like a woman in labor? Have you no king to help you? And your wise leader, has he perished?

¹⁰ Groan and writhe in anguish, like a woman in hard labor, daughter of Zion, for now, you must leave the city and live out in the open field. Off to Babylon you must go! Yet, one day you will be rescued from there, for Yahweh will deliver you from the clutches of your enemies. Jerusalem under Siege

¹¹ Many nations have now gathered to attack you. They say, “Let’s destroy Jerusalem so that we can gloat over capturing Zion.”

¹² But they do not know Yahweh’s plans, and they do not understand his strategy: he has brought them together to punish them, like grain is brought to be beaten on the threshing floor to separate the good from the worthless. Yahweh’s Promise

¹³ “Arise, start your threshing, daughter of Zion, for I will make you strong as a bull with iron horns and bronze hooves so that you can crush many peoples. And you must devote to Yahweh what they have stolen and bring their wealth to me, the Lord of the whole earth.”
