ULT MIC Chapter 4

◄ MIC 4 ► ║ ©

4 And it will be in the last days it will come about

that the mountain of the house of Yahweh

will be established as a head over the mountains.

And, it will be lifted above the hills,

and peoples will stream to it.

2 Many nations will go and say,

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh,

to the house of the God of Jacob

so that he will teach us his ways,

and we will walk in his paths.”

For from Zion the law will go out,

and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

3 He will judge among many peoples

and will decide for strong nations far away.

They will beat their swords into plowshares

and their spears into pruning hooks.

Nation will not lift up sword against nation,

nor will they train for war any longer.

4 And, they will sit every person under his vine

and under his fig tree.

No one will make them afraid,

for the mouth of Yahweh of hosts has spoken.

5 For all the peoples walk,

each one, in the name of their god.

But we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God

forever and ever.

6 “On that day,” declares Yahweh,

“I will assemble the lame

and gather the outcast,

those whom I have afflicted.

7 And I will turn the lame into a remnant,

and the ones driven away into a strong nation,

and Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion,

from now and until forever.

8 And you, watchtower for the flock,

hill of the daughter of Zion—

to you it will come, your former dominion will arrive,

the kingdom that belongs to the daughter of Jerusalem.

9 Now, why do you shout so loudly?

Is there no king among you?

Has your counselor died,

that pain grips you like that of a woman in labor?

10 Be in pain

and labor daughter of Zion

like a woman giving birth.

For now you will you go out of the city,

and live in the field,

and go to Babylon.

There you will be rescued.

There Yahweh will redeem you

from the hand of your enemies.

11 Now many nations are assembled against you;

they say, ‘Let her be defiled;

let our eyes gloat over Zion.’

12 And they do not know the thoughts of Yahweh

neither do they understand his plans,

for he has gathered them like bundles of grain prepared for the threshing floor.

13 Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion,

for I will make your horn to be iron,

and I will make your hooves to be bronze.

And you will break into pieces many peoples and you will devote to Yahweh their unjust earnings,

their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.”
