Micah 4:1--7:20

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)_.

6:1

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye now what the LORD
<03068>

saith
<0559> (8802)_;

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

contend
<07378> (8798)

thou before the mountains
<02022>_,

and let the hills
<01389>

hear
<08085> (8799)

thy voice
<06963>_.

{before: or, with}

6:2

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye, O mountains
<02022>_,

the LORD'S
<03068>

controversy
<07379>_,

and ye strong
<0386>

foundations
<04146>

of the earth
<0776>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath a controversy
<07379>

with his people
<05971>_,

and he will plead
<03198> (8691)

with Israel
<03478>_.

6:3

O my people
<05971>_,

what have I done
<06213> (8804)

unto thee? and wherein have I wearied
<03811> (8689)

thee? testify
<06030> (8798)

against me.

6:4

For I brought thee up
<05927> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and redeemed
<06299> (8804)

thee out of the house
<01004>

of servants
<05650>_;

and I sent
<07971> (8799)

before
<06440>

thee Moses
<04872>_,

Aaron
<0175>_,

and Miriam
<04813>_.

6:5

O my people
<05971>_,

remember
<02142> (8798)

now what Balak
<01111>

king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>

consulted
<03289> (8804)_,

and what Balaam
<01109>

the son
<01121>

of Beor
<01160>

answered
<06030> (8804)

him from Shittim
<07851>

unto Gilgal
<01537>_;

that ye may know
<03045> (8800)

the righteousness
<06666>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

6:6

Wherewith shall I come before
<06923> (8762)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] bow
<03721> (8735)

myself before the high
<04791>

God
<0430>_?

shall I come before
<06923> (8762)

him with burnt offerings
<05930>_,

with calves
<05695>

of a year
<08141>

old
<01121>_?

{of a...: Heb. sons of a year?}

6:7

Will the LORD
<03068>

be pleased
<07521> (8799)

with thousands
<0505>

of rams
<0352>_,

[or] with ten thousands
<07233>

of rivers
<05158>

of oil
<08081>_?

shall I give
<05414> (8799)

my firstborn
<01060>

[for] my transgression
<06588>_,

the fruit
<06529>

of my body
<0990>

[for] the sin
<02403>

of my soul
<05315>_?

{body: Heb. belly}

6:8

He hath shewed
<05046> (8689)

thee, O man
<0120>_,

what [is] good
<02896>_;

and what doth the LORD
<03068>

require
<01875> (8802)

of thee, but to do
<06213> (8800)

justly
<04941>_,

and to love
<0160>

mercy
<02617>_,

and to walk
<03212> (8800)

humbly
<06800> (8687)

with thy God
<0430>_?

{walk...: Heb. humble thyself to walk}

6:9

The LORD'S
<03068>

voice
<06963>

crieth
<07121> (8799)

unto the city
<05892>_,

and [the man of] wisdom
<08454>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

thy name
<08034>_:

hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the rod
<04294>_,

and who hath appointed
<03259> (8804)

it. {the man...: or, thy name shall see that which is}

6:10

Are there
<0786>

yet the treasures
<0214>

of wickedness
<07562> (8676) <0376>

in the house
<01004>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

and the scant
<07332>

measure
<0374>

[that is] abominable
<02194> (8803)_?

{Are...: or, Is there yet unto every man an house of the, etc} {scant...: Heb. measure of leanness}

6:11

Shall I count [them] pure
<02135> (8799)

with the wicked
<07562>

balances
<03976>_,

and with the bag
<03599>

of deceitful
<04820>

weights
<068>_?

{count...: or, be pure with, etc}

6:12

For the rich men
<06223>

thereof are full
<04390> (8804)

of violence
<02555>_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof have spoken
<01696> (8765)

lies
<08267>_,

and their tongue
<03956>

[is] deceitful
<07423>

in their mouth
<06310>_.

6:13

Therefore also will I make [thee] sick
<02470> (8689)

in smiting
<05221> (8687)

thee, in making [thee] desolate
<08074> (8687)

because of thy sins
<02403>_.

6:14

Thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)_,

but not be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_;

and thy casting down
<03445>

[shall be] in the midst
<07130>

of thee; and thou shalt take hold
<05253> (8686)_,

but shalt not deliver
<06403> (8686)_;

and [that] which thou deliverest
<06403> (8762)

will I give up
<05414> (8799)

to the sword
<02719>_.

6:15

Thou shalt sow
<02232> (8799)_,

but thou shalt not reap
<07114> (8799)_;

thou shalt tread
<01869> (8799)

the olives
<02132>_,

but thou shalt not anoint
<05480> (8799)

thee with oil
<08081>_;

and sweet wine
<08492>_,

but shalt not drink
<08354> (8799)

wine
<03196>_.

6:16

For the statutes
<02708>

of Omri
<06018>

are kept
<08104> (8691)_,

and all the works
<04639>

of the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_,

and ye walk
<03212> (8799)

in their counsels
<04156>_;

that I should make
<05414> (8800)

thee a desolation
<08047>_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof an hissing
<08322>_:

therefore ye shall bear
<05375> (8799)

the reproach
<02781>

of my people
<05971>_.

{For the...: or, For he doth much keep the, etc} {desolation: or, astonishment}

7:1

Woe
<0480>

is me! for I am as when they have gathered
<0625>

the summer fruits
<07019>_,

as the grapegleanings
<05955>

of the vintage
<01210>_:

[there is] no cluster
<0811>

to eat
<0398> (8800)_:

my soul
<05315>

desired
<0183> (8765)

the firstripe fruit
<01063>_.

{when...: Heb. the gatherings of summer}

7:2

The good
<02623>

[man] is perished
<06> (8804)

out of the earth
<0776>_:

and [there is] none upright
<03477>

among men
<0120>_:

they all lie in wait
<0693> (8799)

for blood
<01818>_;

they hunt
<06679> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his brother
<0251>

with a net
<02764>_.

{good: or, godly, or, merciful}

7:3

That they may do evil
<07451>

with both hands
<03709>

earnestly
<03190> (8687)_,

the prince
<08269>

asketh
<07592> (8802)_,

and the judge
<08199> (8802)

[asketh] for a reward
<07966>_;

and the great
<01419>

[man], he uttereth
<01696> (8802)

his mischievous
<01942>

desire
<05315>_:

so they wrap it up
<05686> (8762)_.

{his...: Heb. the mischief of his soul}

7:4

The best
<02896>

of them [is] as a brier
<02312>_:

the most upright
<03477>

[is sharper] than a thorn hedge
<04534>_:

the day
<03117>

of thy watchmen
<06822> (8764)

[and] thy visitation
<06486>

cometh
<0935> (8804)_;

now shall be their perplexity
<03998>_.

7:5

Trust
<0539> (8686)

ye not in a friend
<07453>_,

put ye not confidence
<0982> (8799)

in a guide
<0441>_:

keep
<08104> (8798)

the doors
<06607>

of thy mouth
<06310>

from her that lieth
<07901> (8802)

in thy bosom
<02436>_.

7:6

For the son
<01121>

dishonoureth
<05034> (8764)

the father
<01>_,

the daughter
<01323>

riseth up
<06965> (8801)

against her mother
<0517>_,

the daughter in law
<03618>

against her mother in law
<02545>_;

a man's
<0376>

enemies
<0341> (8802)

[are] the men
<0582>

of his own house
<01004>_.

7:7

Therefore I will look
<06822> (8762)

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

I will wait
<03176> (8686)

for the God
<0430>

of my salvation
<03468>_:

my God
<0430>

will hear
<08085> (8799)

me.

7:8

Rejoice
<08055> (8799)

not against me, O mine enemy
<0341> (8802)_:

when I fall
<05307> (8804)_,

I shall arise
<06965> (8804)_;

when I sit
<03427> (8799)

in darkness
<02822>_,

the LORD
<03068>

[shall be] a light
<0216>

unto me.

7:9

I will bear
<05375> (8799)

the indignation
<02197>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

because I have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against him, until he plead
<07378> (8799)

my cause
<07379>_,

and execute
<06213> (8804)

judgment
<04941>

for me: he will bring me forth
<03318> (8686)

to the light
<0216>_,

[and] I shall behold
<07200> (8799)

his righteousness
<06666>_.

7:10

Then [she that is] mine enemy
<0341> (8802)

shall see
<07200> (8799)

[it], and shame
<0955>

shall cover
<03680> (8762)

her which said
<0559> (8802)

unto me, Where is the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_?

mine eyes
<05869>

shall behold
<07200> (8799)

her: now shall she be trodden down
<04823>

as the mire
<02916>

of the streets
<02351>_.

{Then...: or, And thou wilt see her that is mine enemy, and cover her with shame} {shall she...: Heb. she shall be for a treading down}

7:11

[In] the day
<03117>

that thy walls
<01447>

are to be built
<01129> (8800)_,

[in] that day
<03117>

shall the decree
<02706>

be far removed
<07368> (8799)_.

7:12

[In] that day
<03117>

[also] he shall come
<0935> (8799)

even to thee from Assyria
<0804>_,

and [from] the fortified
<04693>

cities
<05892>_,

and from the fortress
<04693>

even to the river
<05104>_,

and from sea
<03220>

to sea
<03220>_,

and [from] mountain
<02022>

to mountain
<02022>_.

{and [from] the fortified cities: or, even to the fortified cities}

7:13

Notwithstanding the land
<0776>

shall be desolate
<08077>

because of them that dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein, for the fruit
<06529>

of their doings
<04611>_.

{Notwithstanding: or, After that it hath been}

7:14

Feed
<07462> (8798)

thy people
<05971>

with thy rod
<07626>_,

the flock
<06629>

of thine heritage
<05159>_,

which dwell
<07931> (8802)

solitarily
<0910>

[in] the wood
<03293>_,

in the midst
<08432>

of Carmel
<03760>_:

let them feed
<07462> (8799)

[in] Bashan
<01316>

and Gilead
<01568>_,

as in the days
<03117>

of old
<05769>_.

{Feed: or, Rule}

7:15

According to the days
<03117>

of thy coming
<03318> (8800)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

will I shew
<07200> (8686)

unto him marvellous
<06381> (8737)

[things].

7:16

The nations
<01471>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

and be confounded
<0954> (8799)

at all their might
<01369>_:

they shall lay
<07760> (8799)

[their] hand
<03027>

upon [their] mouth
<06310>_,

their ears
<0241>

shall be deaf
<02790> (8799)_.

7:17

They shall lick
<03897> (8762)

the dust
<06083>

like a serpent
<05175>_,

they shall move
<07264> (8799)

out of their holes
<04526>

like worms
<02119> (8801)

of the earth
<0776>_:

they shall be afraid
<06342> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

and shall fear
<03372> (8799)

because of thee. {worms: or, creeping things}

7:18

Who [is] a God
<0410>

like unto thee, that pardoneth
<05375> (8802)

iniquity
<05771>_,

and passeth by
<05674> (8802)

the transgression
<06588>

of the remnant
<07611>

of his heritage
<05159>_?

he retaineth
<02388> (8689)

not his anger
<0639>

for ever
<05703>_,

because he delighteth
<02654> (8804)

[in] mercy
<02617>_.

7:19

He will turn again
<07725> (8799)_,

he will have compassion
<07355> (8762)

upon us; he will subdue
<03533> (8799)

our iniquities
<05771>_;

and thou wilt cast
<07993> (8686)

all their sins
<02403>

into the depths
<04688>

of the sea
<03220>_.

7:20

Thou wilt perform
<05414> (8799)

the truth
<0571>

to Jacob
<03290>_,

[and] the mercy
<02617>

to Abraham
<085>_,

which thou hast sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto our fathers
<01>

from the days
<03117>

of old
<06924>_.
