Micah 弥迦书04
1In the last days the mountain of the Lord 's temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.
2Many nations will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord , to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
3He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning 1 hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.
4Every man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig 2 tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the Lord Almighty 3 has spoken.
5All the nations may walk in the name of their gods; we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever. The Lord 's Plan
6"In that day," declares the Lord , "I will gather the lame 4; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief.
7I will make the lame a remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever.
8As for you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion, the former dominion 5 will be restored to you; kingship will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem."
9Why do you now cry aloud- have you no king? Has your counselor 6 perished, that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor 7?
10Writhe in agony, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor, for now you must leave the city to camp in the open field. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued. There the Lord will redeem 8 you out of the hand of your enemies.
11But now many nations are gathered against you. They say, "Let her be defiled 9, let our eyes gloat over Zion!"
12But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord ; they do not understand his plan, he who gathers them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13"Rise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion, for I will give you horns of iron; I will give you hoofs 10 of bronze and you will break to pieces many nations." You will devote their ill-gotten gains to the Lord , their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
