The announcement of the vocation of the Gentiles - Micah 4


The announcement of the vocation of the Gentiles
1 - But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and the people shall flow unto it.
2 - And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob, to teach us his ways, and to walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3 - And he shall judge among many peoples, and shall punish nations that are mighty and far off, and shall turn their swords into shovels, and their spears into pruning hooks; one nation will not lift up the sword against another nation, nor learn war anymore.
4 - But every man shall sit under his vine, and under his fig tree, and there shall be no one to make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.
5 - For all nations walk, every man in the name of his god; but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God, for ever and ever.
6 - In that day, saith the LORD, I will gather her that lamented, and gather her that was cast out, and that which I had mistreated.
7 And I will make a remnant of her that was lame, and out of that which was cast out afar off, a mighty nation; and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion, from henceforth and for ever.
8 - And unto thee, O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, shall come unto thee; yea, the first domain will come to you, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 - And now, why doest thou such mourning? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished? Has the pain seized you, as of the woman in labor?
10 She suffereth pains, and laboreth to bear, O daughter of Zion, as she that travaileth; for now thou shalt go out of the city, and dwell in the field, and shalt come to Babylon; there you will be delivered; there the Lord will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 - Now many nations are gathered together against thee, which say, Let it be profaned, and let our eyes see their desire upon Zion.
12 - But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither do they understand his counsel; because he gathered them together like knives in a threshing floor.
13 Rise up, O daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and your nails brass; and thou shalt beat many peoples, and their gain shall be holy unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of all the earth. 
Lord of the earth, thy nails, thou shalt break it, Babylon the profaned, the strength of the daughter of Zion, the strength of Zion, thou shalt go out of the city, thou shalt dwell in the field, the tower of the flock, the tower of the flock, the daughter of Jerusalem, hail, remnant, Come, and let us go up, mount the LORD.
