Peaceful Latter Days
1 And it will come about in the AIs 2:2-4; Dan 2:28; 10:14; Hos 3:5last days
That the BEzek 43:12; Mic 3:12; Zech 8:3mountain of the house of the Loʀᴅ
Will be established 1Lit onas the chief of the mountains.
It will be raised above the hills,
And the CPs 22:27; 86:9; Jer 3:17peoples will stream to it.
2 AZech 2:11; 14:16Many nations will come and say,
“BIs 2:3; Jer 31:6Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Loʀᴅ
And to the house of the God of Jacob,
That CPs 25:8, 9, 12; Is 54:13He may teach us about His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For DIs 42:1-4; Zech 14:8, 9from Zion will go forth the law,
Even the word of the Loʀᴅ from Jerusalem.
3 And He will AIs 2:4; 11:3-5judge between many peoples
And render decisions for mighty, 1Lit at a distancedistant nations.
Then they will hammer their swords BJoel 3:10into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
And never again will they 2Lit learntrain for war.
4 Each of them will A1 Kin 4:25; Zech 3:10sit under his vine
And under his fig tree,
With BLev 26:6; Jer 30:10no one to make them afraid,
For the CIs 1:20; 40:5mouth of the Loʀᴅ of hosts has spoken.
5 Though all the peoples walk
Each in the A2 Kin 17:29name of his god,
As for us, BZech 10:12we will walk
In the name of the CJosh 24:15; Is 26:8, 13Loʀᴅ our God forever and ever.
6 “In that day,” declares the Loʀᴅ,
“I will assemble the AZeph 3:19lame
And BPs 147:2; Ezek 34:13, 16; 37:21gather the outcasts,
Even those whom I have afflicted.
7 “I will make the lame a AMic 5:7, 8; 7:18remnant
And the outcasts a strong nation,
And the BIs 24:23Loʀᴅ will reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on and forever.
2Heb Ophel ofHill of the daughter of Zion,
To you it will come—
Even the BIs 1:26; Zech 9:10former dominion will come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 “Now, why do you AJer 8:19cry out loudly?
Is there no king among you,
Or has your BIs 3:1-3counselor perished,
That agony has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?
10 “AMic 5:3Writhe and labor to give birth,
Daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in childbirth;
For now you will B2 Kin 20:18; Hos 2:14go out of the city,
Dwell in the field,
And go to Babylon.
CIs 43:14; 45:13; Mic 7:8-12There you will be rescued;
DIs 48:20; 52:9-12There the Loʀᴅ will redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.
11 “And now AIs 5:25-30; 17:12-14many nations have been assembled against you
Who say, ‘Let her be polluted,
And let our eyes 1Lit look ongloat over Zion.’
12 “But they do not APs 147:19, 20know the thoughts of the Loʀᴅ,
And they do not understand His purpose;
For He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “Arise and AIs 41:15thresh, daughter of Zion,
For your horn I will make iron
And your hoofs I will make bronze,
That you may BJer 51:20-23pulverize many peoples,
That you may CIs 60:9devote to the Loʀᴅ their unjust gain
And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
