MICAH
[IV
- 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.
- 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.
- 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;
- 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.
- And thou, O tower of the flock,
- The strong hold of the daughter of Zion,
- Unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion;
- The kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
- Now why dost thou cry out aloud?
- Is there no king in thee?
[ 1146 ]
