¹ But in the last days it will come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established in the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and people will flow to it. ² And many nations will 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 will go forward of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. ³ And he will judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation will not lift up a sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more. ⁴ But they will sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree and none will make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has 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 forever and ever. ⁶ In that day, says the LORD, will I assemble her that halts, 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 will reign over them in mount Zion from now on, even for ever. ⁸ And you, O tower of the flock , the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, to you will it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom will come to the daughter of Jerusalem. ⁹ Now why do you cry out aloud? is there no king in you? is your counsellor perished ? for pangs have taken you as a woman in labour. ¹⁰ Be in pain, and labour to bring forward, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in labour: for now will you go forward out of the city, and you will dwell in the field, and you will go even to Babylon; there will you be delivered; there the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies. ¹¹ Now also many nations are gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look on Zion. ¹² But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he will gather them as the sheaves into the floor. ¹³ Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you will beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain to the LORD, and their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.
