In the last days the mountain of the LORD (יהוה)'s temple will be established, nations will stream to it, and the LORD (יהוה) will reign in Zion forever.
Micah 4:1-8 NIV . . .In the last days the mountain of the LORD (יהוה)’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it. (2) Many nations will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD (יהוה), to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD (יהוה) from Jerusalem. (3) He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. (4) Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the LORD (יהוה) Almighty has spoken. (5) All the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the LORD (יהוה) our God for ever and ever. (6) "In that day," declares the LORD (יהוה), "I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief. (7) I will make the lame my remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The LORD (יהוה) will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever. (8) As for you, watchtower of the flock, stronghold of Daughter Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem."
Micah 4:1-8 WEB . . .But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of Yahweh (יהוה)’s temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to it. (2) Many nations will go and say, "Come! Let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh (יהוה), 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 will go out of Zion, and Yahweh (יהוה)’s word from Jerusalem; (3) and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more. (4) But every man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree. No one will make them afraid; for the mouth of Yahweh (יהוה) of Armies has spoken. (5) Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name of Yahweh (יהוה) our God forever and ever. (6) "In that day," says Yahweh (יהוה), "I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted; (7) and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Yahweh (יהוה) will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever." (8) You, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, yes, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
Micah 4:1-8 ESV . . .It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD (יהוה) shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and it shall be lifted up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it, (2) and many nations shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD (יהוה), to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD (יהוה) from Jerusalem. (3) He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide disputes for strong nations far away; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore; (4) but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid, for the mouth of the LORD (יהוה) of hosts has spoken. (5) For all the peoples walk each in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of the LORD (יהוה) our God forever and ever. (6) In that day, declares the LORD (יהוה), I will assemble the lame and gather those who have been driven away and those whom I have afflicted; (7) and the lame I will make the remnant, and those who were cast off, a strong nation; and the LORD (יהוה) will reign over them in Mount Zion from this time forth and forevermore. (8) And you, O tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you shall it come, the former dominion shall come, kingship for the daughter of Jerusalem.
Micah 4:1-8 GNB . . .In days to come the mountain where the Temple stands will be the highest one of all, towering above all the hills. Many nations will come streaming to it, (2) and their people will say, "Let us go up the hill of the LORD (יהוה), to the Temple of Israel's God. He will teach us what he wants us to do; we will walk in the paths he has chosen. For the LORD (יהוה)'s teaching comes from Jerusalem; from Zion he speaks to his people." (3) He will settle disputes among the nations, among the great powers near and far. They will hammer their swords into plows and their spears into pruning knives. Nations will never again go to war, never prepare for battle again. (4) Everyone will live in peace among their own vineyards and fig trees, and no one will make them afraid. The LORD (יהוה) Almighty has promised this. (5) Each nation worships and obeys its own god, but we will worship and obey the LORD (יהוה) our God forever and ever. (6) "The time is coming," says the LORD (יהוה), "when I will gather together the people I punished, those who have suffered in exile. (7) They are crippled and far from home, but I will make a new beginning with those who are left, and they will become a great nation. I will rule over them on Mount Zion from that time on and forever." (8) And you, Jerusalem, the tower of my people Israel, you will again be the capital of the kingdom that you once were.
Micah 4:1-8 CEV . . .In the last days the mountain of the LORD (יהוה)’s temple will be the most important of all. It will be raised above the hills, and people will flow to it like a stream. (2) Many nations will come and say, "Come on! Let's go to the mountain of the LORD (יהוה), to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us what he wants us to do. We will walk in his paths." The LORD (יהוה)’s teaching will go out from Zion, his word from Jerusalem. (3) He will settle arguments between distant and powerful nations. They will pound their swords and their spears into rakes and shovels; they will never again make war or attack one another. (4) Everyone will find rest beneath their own fig trees or grapevines, and they will live in peace. This is a solemn promise of the LORD (יהוה) All-Powerful. (5) Others may follow their gods, but we will always follow the LORD (יהוה) our God. (6) The LORD (יהוה) says, "At that time I will gather together the lame and those who have been exiled, and I will bring together those whom I have punished. (7) I will turn those who were lame into a strong nation and make a new beginning with those who were driven into exile. I, the LORD (יהוה), will rule them on Mount Zion from that time on and forever." (8) Mount Zion in Jerusalem, you are the city of God, and you will be rebuilt as it was before.
