Miqueas 4
King James Version
1But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
2And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.
5For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.
6In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
7And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
8And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.
10Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
11Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
12But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
13Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y ACONTECERÁ en los postreros tiempos, que el monte de la casa de Jehová será constituído por cabecera de montes, y más alto que los collados, y correrán á él pueblos.
2Y vendrán muchas gentes, y dirán: Venid, y subamos al monte de Jehová, y á la casa del Dios de Jacob; y enseñarános en sus caminos, y andaremos por sus veredas: porque de Sión saldrá la ley, y de Jerusalem la palabra de Jehová.
3Y juzgará entre muchos pueblos, y corregirá fuertes gentes hasta muy lejos: y martillarán sus espadas para azadones, y sus lanzas para hoces: no alzará espada gente contra gente, ni más se ensayarán para la guerra.
4Y cada uno se sentará debajo de su vid y debajo de su higuera, y no habrá quien amedrente: porque la boca de Jehová de los ejércitos lo ha hablado.
5Bien que todos los pueblos anduvieren cada uno en el nombre de sus dioses, nosotros con todo andaremos en el nombre de Jehová nuestro Dios para siempre y eternalmente.
6En aquel día, dice Jehová, juntaré la coja, y recogeré la amontada, y á la que afligí;
7Y pondré á la coja para sucesión, y á la descarriada para nación robusta: y Jehová reinará sobre ellos en el monte de Sión desde ahora para siempre.
8Y tú, oh torre del rebaño, la fortaleza de la hija de Sión vendrá hasta ti: y el señorío primero, el reino vendrá á la hija de Jerusalem.
9Ahora ¿por qué gritas tanto? ¿No hay rey en ti? ¿Pereció tu consejero, que te ha tomado dolor como de mujer de parto?
10Duélete y gime, hija de Sión, como mujer de parto; porque ahora saldrás de la ciudad, y morarás en el campo, y llegarás hasta Babilonia: allí serás librada, allí te redimirá Jehová de la mano de tus enemigos.
11Ahora empero se han juntado muchas gentes contra ti, y dicen: Sea profanada, y vean nuestros ojos su deseo sobre Sión.
12Mas ellos no conocieron los pensamientos de Jehová, ni entendieron su consejo: por lo cual los juntó como gavillas en la era.
13Levántate y trilla, hija de Sión, porque tu cuerno tornaré de hierro, y tus uñas de metal, y desmenuzarás muchos pueblos; y consagrarás á Jehová sus robos, y sus riquezas al Señor de toda la tierra.
World English Bible
1But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to it.
2Many nations will go and say, “Come! Let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem;
3and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more.
4But every man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree. No one will make them afraid, for the mouth of the LORD of Armies has spoken.
5Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
6“In that day,” says the LORD, “I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;
7and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever.”
8You, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come. Yes, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pains have taken hold of you as of a woman in travail?
10Be in pain, and labor to give birth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go out of the city, and will dwell in the field, and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, “Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion.”
12But they don’t know the thoughts of the LORD, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor.
13Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze. You will beat in pieces many peoples. I will devote their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
