4 In after days it shall be
that the Eternal’s hill shall rise,
towering over every hill,
and higher than the heights.
2Nations shall stream to it,
and many a people shall exclaim,
“Come, let us go to the Eternal’s hill,
to the house of Jacob’s God,
that he may instruct us in his ways,
to walk upon his paths.”
For instruction comes from Sion,
and from Jerusalem the Eternal’s word.
3He will decide disputes of many races,
and arbitrate between strong foreign powers,
till swords are beaten into ploughshares,
spears into pruning-hooks;
no nation draws the sword against another,
no longer shall men learn to fight,
4but live each underneath his vine
and underneath his fig-tree,
in terror of no one:
for so the lips of the Lord of hosts decree.
5[[All nations may live loyal, each to its own god,
but we will live ever loyal to our God the Eternal.]]
6On that day, the Eternal promises,
I will collect the stragglers,
I will gather the outcast whom I once afflicted;
7I will make the lame the nucleus of a nation,
make the sick into a power,
with the Eternal reigning over them on Sion hill,
henceforth and for all time.
12I will collect all Jacob,
gather Israel’s survivors,
all together like sheep in a fold,
like a flock in its pasture,
with the stir and noise of numbers;
13the bell-wether opens the way for them,
and out they pour and pass,
led as by their King,
by the Eternal at their head.
8O watch-tower of the flock,
O height of maiden Sion,
the dominion of yore
shall be yours once more,
the royal power of Israel.
9Why then do you wail aloud?
Is it for lack of a king,
for the loss of a royal guide,
that you are in this agony?
10[[Writhe and scream, O Sion,
like a woman in her travail;
for soon you must leave the city
to live in the open;
you have to go to Babylon;
but there you shall be rescued,
there the Eternal will deliver you from your foes.]]
11Many a nation now musters against you,
thinking to gloat over Sion
desecrated, defeated;
12little they know the Eternal’s plan,
little they understand how he
is gathering them as sheaves for threshing.
13“Maiden Sion, up and thresh!
I will make you horns of iron,
hoofs as hard as bronze,
to trample many a people down,
consecrating their spoils to the Eternal,
their wealth to the Lord of all the earth;
