\q
|
||
\v 1 But in the last days it will come about
|
||
\q that the mountain of Yahweh’s house
|
||
\q will be established over the other mountains.
|
||
\q It will be exalted above the hills,
|
||
\q and peoples will stream to it.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 2 Many nations will go and say,
|
||
\q "Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh,
|
||
\q to the house of the God of Jacob.
|
||
\q He will teach us his ways,
|
||
\q and we will walk in his paths."
|
||
\q For from Zion the law will go out,
|
||
\q and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 3 He will judge among many peoples
|
||
\q and will decide concerning numerous nations far away.
|
||
\q They will beat their swords into plowshares
|
||
\q and their spears into pruning knives.
|
||
\q Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
|
||
\q neither will they learn how to wage war any more.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 4 Instead, they will sit every person under his vine
|
||
\q and under his fig tree.
|
||
\q No one will make them afraid,
|
||
\q for the mouth of Yahweh of hosts has spoken.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 5 For all the peoples walk,
|
||
\q each one, in the name of their god.
|
||
\q But we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God
|
||
\q forever and ever.

\v 6 "On that day," says Yahweh,
|
||
\q "I will assemble the lame
|
||
\q and gather the outcast,
|
||
\q those whom I have afflicted.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 7 I will turn the lame into a remnant,
|
||
\q and the ones driven away into a strong nation,
|
||
\q and I, Yahweh, will reign over them on Mount Zion,
|
||
\q now and forever.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 8 And you, watchtower for the flock,
|
||
\q hill of the daughter of Zion,
|
||
\q to you it will come—
|
||
\q the former rule will come,
|
||
\q the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
|

|

\s5

\p
|

\q
|
||
\v 9 Now, why do you cry out aloud?
|
||
\q Is there no king in you,
|
||
\q is your counselor perished,
|
||
\q that pangs have taken hold of you like a woman in labor?
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 10 Be in pain
|
||
\q and labor to give birth,
|
||
\q daughter of Zion,
|
||
\q like a woman in labor.
|
||
\q For now you will you go out of the city,
|
||
\q live in the field,
|
||
\q and go to Babylon.
|
||
\q There you will be rescued.
|
||
\q There Yahweh will rescue you
|
||
\q from the hand of your enemies.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 11 Now many nations are assembled against you;
|
||
\q they say, 'Let her be defiled;
|
||
\q let our eyes gloat over Zion.'"
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 12 The prophet says, They do not know Yahweh's thoughts,
|
||
\q neither do they understand his plans,
|
||
\q for he has gathered them like sheaves for the threshing floor.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 13 Yahweh says, "Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion,
|
||
\q for I will make your horn to be iron,
|
||
\q and I will make your hooves to be bronze.
|
||
\q You will crush many peoples.
|
||
|
||
\q I will devote their unjust wealth to myself, Yahweh,
|
||
\q their possessions to me, the Lord of the whole earth."
