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.

Micah 4:3-7
King James Version
3 And 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.
4 But 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.
5 For 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.
6 In 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;
7 And 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.
