2 1Many nations will come and say, "2Come and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD And to the house of the God of Jacob, That 3He may teach us about His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For 4from Zion will go forth the law, Even the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3 And He will 5judge between many peoples And render decisions for mighty, distant nations. Then they will hammer their swords 6into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they train for war.
4 Each of them will 7sit under his vine And under his fig tree, With 8no one to make them afraid, For the 9mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.
5 Though all the peoples walk Each in the 10name of his god, As for us, 11we will walk In the name of the 12LORD our God forever and ever.
6 "In that day," declares the LORD, "I will assemble the 13lame And 14gather the outcasts, Even those whom I have afflicted.
7 "I will make the lame a 15remnant And the outcasts a strong nation, And the 16LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion From now on and forever *.
8 "As for you, 17tower of the flock, Hill of the daughter of Zion, To you it will come - Even the 18former dominion will come, The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 "Now, why do you 19cry out loudly? Is there no king among you, Or has your 20counselor perished, That agony has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?
10 "21Writhe and labor to give birth, Daughter of Zion, Like a woman in childbirth; For now you will 22go out of the city, Dwell in the field, And go to Babylon. 23There you will be rescued; 24There the LORD will redeem you From the hand of your enemies.
11 "And now 25many nations have been assembled against you Who say, 'Let her be polluted, And let our eyes gloat over Zion.'
12 "But they do not 26know the thoughts of the LORD, And they do not understand His purpose; For He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.

Micah 4:2-12 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO MICAH 4

This chapter contains some gracious promises concerning the glory and happiness of the church of Christ in the last days; as of its stability, exaltation, and increase, and of the spread of the Gospel from it, Mic 4:1,2; and of the peace and security of it, and constant profession and exercise of religion in it, Mic 4:3-5; and of the deliverance of it from affliction and distress, and the ample and everlasting kingdom of Christ in it, Mic 4:6-8; and then follow some prophecies more particularly respecting the Jews; as that, though they should be in distress, and be carried captive into Babylon, they should be delivered from thence, Mic 4:9,10; and, though many people should be gathered against them, yet should not be able to prevail over them, but their attempts would issue in their own destruction, Mic 4:11-13.
