KJ3 Literal Translation
Micah 4
The glory, kingdom, and victory of the people whose God is Jehovah.
1But it shall be in the end of the days, the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be founded on the head of the mountains; and it shall be lifted up from the hills; and peoples shall flow on it.
2And many nations shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob. And He will teach us from His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For the Law shall go forth out of Zion, and the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
3And He shall judge between many peoples, and will decide for strong nations far distant. And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning knives. Nation shall not lift up a sword against a nation, and not shall they learn war still.
4But they shall each man sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and there shall be no trembling; for the mouth of Jehovah of Hosts has spoken.
5For all the peoples walk, each one in the name of his god; but we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God forever and ever.
6In that day I will gather the lame one, a statement of Jehovah, and I will gather the one banished, and she whom I have broken.
7And I will set the lame one into a remnant, and she having been removed far off into a strong nation. And Jehovah shall reign over them in Mount Zion from now on, and to forever.
8And you, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, it shall happen to you. And the dominion of the chief ones shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9Now why do you cry aloud, an outcry? Is there not a king among you? Has one advising you perished? For pain has seized you like one giving birth.
10Be in pain and deliver, daughter of Zion, like one giving birth. For now you shall go out from the city, and you shall live in the field. And you shall come to Babylon. There you shall be snatched back. There Jehovah shall redeem you from the palm of your enemies.
11And now many nations are gathered against you, saying, Let her be defiled, and let our eyes look on Zion.
12But they do not know the thoughts of Jehovah, nor do they understand His counsel. For He has gathered them like the sheaf to the threshing-floor.
13Rise up and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze, and you shall crush many peoples. And I will dedicate their gain to Jehovah, and their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
