^4:1 But in the latter days it will happen, that the mountain of Jehovah's house will be established on the top of the mountains and it will be exalted above the hills and peoples will flow to it.

    ^4:2 And many nations will go and say, Come and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah 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 out of Zion will go forth the law and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

    ^4:3 And he will judge between many peoples and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. And they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning-hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war any more.

    ^4:4 But they will sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree and none will make them afraid. For the mouth of Jehovah of hosts has spoken it. ^4:5For all the peoples walk each one in the name of his god. And we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God everlasting and forever.

    ^4:6 In that day, says Jehovah, I will assemble what is lame and I will gather what is driven away and what I have afflicted. ^4:7 And I will make what was lame a remnant and what was cast far off a strong nation. And Jehovah will reign over them in Mount Zion from now and until everlasting.

    ^4:8 And you, O 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.

    ^4:9 Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you. Has your counselor perished, that pains have taken hold of you as of a woman in childbirth? ^4:10Be in pain and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth.

    For now you will go forth out of the city and will dwell in the field and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There Jehovah will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.

    ^4:11 And now many nations are assembled against you, who say, Let her be defiled and let our eye see our desire upon Zion. ^4:12 But they do not know the thoughts of Jehovah, nor do they understand his counsel, for he has gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor.

    ^4:13 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 many peoples in pieces. And I will devote their gain to Jehovah and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
