The LORD’s Reign in Zion
Swords into Plowshares
(cf. Is. 2:2–4 )
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:1 - Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the LORD’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And peoples shall flow to it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:2 - Many nations shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:3 - He shall judge between many peoples,
And rebuke strong nations afar off;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:4 - But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree,
And no one shall make them afraid;
For the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:5 - For all people walk each in the name of his god,
But we will walk in the name of the LORD our God
Forever and ever.
Zion’s Future Triumph
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:6 - “In that day,” says the LORD,
“I will assemble the lame,
I will gather the outcast
And those whom I have afflicted;
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:7 - I will make the lame a remnant,
And the outcast a strong nation;
So the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on, even forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:8 - And you, O tower of the flock,
The stronghold of the daughter of Zion,
To you shall it come,
Even the former dominion shall come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:9 - Now why do you cry aloud?
Is there no king in your midst?
Has your counselor perished?
For pangs have seized you like a woman in labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:10 - Be in pain, and labor to bring forth,
O daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in birth pangs.
For now you shall go forth from the city,
You shall dwell in the field,
And to Babylon you shall go.
There you shall be delivered;
There the LORD will redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:11 - Now also many nations have gathered against you,
Who say, “Let her be defiled,
And let our eye look upon Zion.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:12 - But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD,
Nor do they understand His counsel;
For He will gather them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:13 - “Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion;
For I will make your horn iron,
And I will make your hooves bronze;
You shall beat in pieces many peoples;
I will consecrate their gain to the LORD,
And their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.”
