Micah 4:1--5:15

4:1

But in the last
<0319>

days
<03117>

it shall come to pass, [that] the mountain
<02022>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall be established
<03559> (8737)

in the top
<07218>

of the mountains
<02022>_,

and it shall be exalted
<05375> (8737)

above the hills
<01389>_;

and people
<05971>

shall flow
<05102> (8804)

unto it.

4:2

And many
<07227>

nations
<01471>

shall come
<01980> (8804)_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us go up
<05927> (8799)

to the mountain
<02022>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and to the house
<01004>

of the God
<0430>

of Jacob
<03290>_;

and he will teach
<03384> (8686)

us of his ways
<01870>_,

and we will walk
<03212> (8799)

in his paths
<0734>_:

for the law
<08451>

shall go forth
<03318> (8799)

of Zion
<06726>_,

and the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

from Jerusalem
<03389>_.

4:3

And he shall judge
<08199> (8804)

among many
<07227>

people
<05971>_,

and rebuke
<03198> (8689)

strong
<06099>

nations
<01471>

afar off
<07350>_;

and they shall beat
<03807> (8765)

their swords
<02719>

into plowshares
<0855>_,

and their spears
<02595>

into pruninghooks
<04211>_:

nation
<01471>

shall not lift up
<05375> (8799)

a sword
<02719>

against nation
<01471>_,

neither shall they learn
<03925> (8799)

war
<04421>

any more. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}

4:4

But they shall sit
<03427> (8804)

every man
<0376>

under his vine
<01612>

and under his fig tree
<08384>_;

and none shall make [them] afraid
<02729> (8688)_:

for the mouth
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it].

4:5

For all people
<05971>

will walk
<03212> (8799)

every one
<0376>

in the name
<08034>

of his god
<0430>_,

and we will walk
<03212> (8799)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

for ever
<05769>

and ever
<05703>_.

4:6

In that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

will I assemble
<0622> (8799)

her that halteth
<06760> (8802)_,

and I will gather
<06908> (8762)

her that is driven out
<05080> (8737)_,

and her that I have afflicted
<07489> (8689)_;

4:7

And I will make
<07760> (8804)

her that halted
<06760> (8802)

a remnant
<07611>_,

and her that was cast far off
<01972> (8737)

a strong
<06099>

nation
<01471>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

shall reign
<04427> (8804)

over them in mount
<02022>

Zion
<06726>

from henceforth, even for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

4:8

And thou, O tower
<04026>

of the flock
<05739> (8677) <04029>_,

the strong hold
<06076>

of the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_,

unto thee shall it come
<0857> (8799)_,

even the first
<07223>

dominion
<04475>_;

the kingdom
<04467>

shall come
<0935> (8804)

to the daughter
<01323>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

4:9

Now why dost thou cry
<07321> (8686)

out aloud
<07452>_?

[is there] no king
<04428>

in thee? is thy counsellor
<03289> (8802)

perished
<06> (8804)_?

for pangs
<02427>

have taken
<02388> (8689)

thee as a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_.

4:10

Be in pain
<02342> (8798)_,

and labour to bring forth
<01518> (8798)_,

O daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_,

like a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_:

for now shalt thou go forth
<03318> (8799)

out of the city
<07151>_,

and thou shalt dwell
<07931> (8804)

in the field
<07704>_,

and thou shalt go
<0935> (8804)

[even] to Babylon
<0894>_;

there shalt thou be delivered
<05337> (8735)_;

there the LORD
<03068>

shall redeem
<01350> (8799)

thee from the hand
<03709>

of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

4:11

Now also many
<07227>

nations
<01471>

are gathered
<0622> (8738)

against thee, that say
<0559> (8802)_,

Let her be defiled
<02610> (8799)_,

and let our eye
<05869>

look
<02372> (8799)

upon Zion
<06726>_.

4:12

But they know
<03045> (8804)

not the thoughts
<04284>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

neither understand
<0995> (8689)

they his counsel
<06098>_:

for he shall gather
<06908> (8765)

them as the sheaves
<05995>

into the floor
<01637>_.

4:13

Arise
<06965> (8798)

and thresh
<01758> (8798)_,

O daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_:

for I will make
<07760> (8799)

thine horn
<07161>

iron
<01270>_,

and I will make
<07760> (8799)

thy hoofs
<06541>

brass
<05154>_:

and thou shalt beat in pieces
<01854> (8689)

many
<07227>

people
<05971>_:

and I will consecrate
<02763> (8689)

their gain
<01215>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and their substance
<02428>

unto the Lord
<0113>

of the whole earth
<0776>_.

5:1

Now gather
<01413> (8704)

thyself in troops
<01416>_,

O daughter
<01323>

of troops
<01416>_:

he hath laid
<07760> (8804)

siege
<04692>

against us: they shall smite
<05221> (8686)

the judge
<08199> (8802)

of Israel
<03478>

with a rod
<07626>

upon the cheek
<03895>_.

5:2

But thou, Bethlehem
<01035>

Ephratah
<0672>_,

[though] thou be little
<06810>

among the thousands
<0505>

of Judah
<03063>_,

[yet] out of thee shall he come forth
<03318> (8799)

unto me [that is] to be ruler
<04910> (8802)

in Israel
<03478>_;

whose goings forth
<04163>

[have been] from of old
<06924>_,

from everlasting
<03117> <05769>_.

{everlasting: Heb. the days of eternity}

5:3

Therefore will he give them up
<05414> (8799)_,

until the time
<06256>

[that] she which travaileth
<03205> (8802)

hath brought forth
<03205> (8804)_:

then the remnant
<03499>

of his brethren
<0251>

shall return
<07725> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

5:4

And he shall stand
<05975> (8804)

and feed
<07462> (8804)

in the strength
<05797>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

in the majesty
<01347>

of the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_;

and they shall abide
<03427> (8804)_:

for now shall he be great
<01431> (8799)

unto the ends
<0657>

of the earth
<0776>_.

{feed or, rule}

5:5

And this [man] shall be the peace
<07965>_,

when the Assyrian
<0804>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

into our land
<0776>_:

and when he shall tread
<01869> (8799)

in our palaces
<0759>_,

then shall we raise
<06965> (8689)

against him seven
<07651>

shepherds
<07462> (8802)_,

and eight
<08083>

principal
<05257>

men
<0120>_.

{principal: Heb. princes of}

5:6

And they shall waste
<07462> (8804)

the land
<0776>

of Assyria
<0804>

with the sword
<02719>_,

and the land
<0776>

of Nimrod
<05248>

in the entrances
<06607>

thereof: thus shall he deliver
<05337> (8689)

[us] from the Assyrian
<0804>_,

when he cometh
<0935> (8799)

into our land
<0776>_,

and when he treadeth
<01869> (8799)

within our borders
<01366>_.

{waste: Heb. eat up} {in the...: or, with her own naked swords}

5:7

And the remnant
<07611>

of Jacob
<03290>

shall be in the midst
<07130>

of many
<07227>

people
<05971>

as a dew
<02919>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

as the showers
<07241>

upon the grass
<06212>_,

that tarrieth
<06960> (8762)

not for man
<0376>_,

nor waiteth
<03176> (8762)

for the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_.

5:8

And the remnant
<07611>

of Jacob
<03290>

shall be among the Gentiles
<01471>

in the midst
<07130>

of many
<07227>

people
<05971>

as a lion
<0738>

among the beasts
<0929>

of the forest
<03293>_,

as a young lion
<03715>

among the flocks
<05739>

of sheep
<06629>_:

who, if he go through
<05674> (8804)_,

both treadeth down
<07429> (8804)_,

and teareth in pieces
<02963> (8804)_,

and none can deliver
<05337> (8688)_.

{sheep: or, goats}

5:9

Thine hand
<03027>

shall be lifted up
<07311> (8799)

upon thine adversaries
<06862>_,

and all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)

shall be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.

5:10

And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

thy horses
<05483>

out of the midst
<07130>

of thee, and I will destroy
<06> (8689)

thy chariots
<04818>_:

5:11

And I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

the cities
<06145> (8676) <05892>

of thy land
<0776>_,

and throw down
<02040> (8804)

all thy strong holds
<04013>_:

5:12

And I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

witchcrafts
<03785>

out of thine hand
<03027>_;

and thou shalt have no [more] soothsayers
<06049> (8781)_:

5:13

Thy graven images
<06456>

also will I cut off
<03772> (8689)_,

and thy standing images
<04676>

out of the midst
<07130>

of thee; and thou shalt no more worship
<07812> (8691)

the work
<04639>

of thine hands
<03027>_.

{standing...: or, statues}

5:14

And I will pluck up
<05428> (8804)

thy groves
<0842>

out of the midst
<07130>

of thee: so will I destroy
<08045> (8689)

thy cities
<06145> (8676) <05892>_.

{cities: or, enemies}

5:15

And I will execute
<06213> (8804)

vengeance
<05359>

in anger
<0639>

and fury
<02534>

upon the heathen
<01471>_,

such as they have not heard
<08085> (8804)_.
