Many nations shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
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.

(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.

(A)Many nations will come and say,
(B)Come and let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord
And to the house of the God of Jacob,
So that (C)He may teach us about His ways,
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For (D)from Zion will go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
And He will (E)judge between many peoples
And render decisions for mighty, [a]distant nations.
Then they will beat their swords (F)into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation will not lift a sword against nation,
And never again will they [b]train for war.
Instead, each of them will (G)sit under his vine
And under his fig tree,
With (H)no one to make them afraid,
Because the (I)mouth of the Lord of armies has spoken.

  2. Micah 4:3 Lit learn


And many nations shall come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob,
That He may teach us about His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For the law shall go forward from Zion,
And the word of the Lord [the revelation about Him and His truth] from Jerusalem.

And He will judge between many peoples
And render decisions for strong and distant nations.
Then they shall hammer their swords into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks [so that the implements of war may become the tools of agriculture];
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Nor shall they ever again train for war.(A)

Each of them shall sit [in security and peace] under his vine
And under his fig tree,
With no one to make them afraid,
For the mouth of the [omnipotent] Lord of hosts has spoken it.(B)

And 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.

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.

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.
