Micah 4:3-7
New King James Version
3 He shall judge between many peoples,
And rebuke strong nations afar off;
They shall beat their swords into (A)plowshares,
And their spears into [a]pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
(B)Neither shall they learn war anymore.
4 (C)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.
5 For all people walk each in the name of his god,
But (D)we will walk in the name of the Lord our God
Forever and ever.
Zion’s Future Triumph
6 “In that day,” says the Lord,
(E)“I will assemble the lame,
(F)I will gather the outcast
And those whom I have afflicted;
7 I will make the lame (G)a remnant,
And the outcast a strong nation;
So the Lord (H)will reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on, even forever.
