But in the last{H319} days{H3117} it shall come to pass, that the mountain{H2022} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068} shall be established{H3559}{(H8737)} in the top{H7218} of the mountains{H2022}, and it shall be exalted{H5375}{(H8737)} above the hills{H1389}; and people{H5971} shall flow{H5102}{(H8804)} unto it.

Verse 2

And many{H7227} nations{H1471} shall come{H1980}{(H8804)}, and say{H559}{(H8804)}, Come{H3212}{(H8798)}, and let us go up{H5927}{(H8799)} to the mountain{H2022} of the LORD{H3068}, and to the house{H1004} of the God{H430} of Jacob{H3290}; and he will teach{H3384}{(H8686)} us of his ways{H1870}, and we will walk{H3212}{(H8799)} in his paths{H734}: for the law{H8451} shall go forth{H3318}{(H8799)} of Zion{H6726}, and the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} from Jerusalem{H3389}.

And he shall judge{H8199}{(H8804)} among many{H7227} people{H5971}, and rebuke{H3198}{(H8689)} strong{H6099} nations{H1471} afar off{H7350}; and they shall beat{H3807}{(H8765)} their swords{H2719} into plowshares{H855}, and their spears{H2595} into pruninghooks{H4211}: nation{H1471} shall not lift up{H5375}{(H8799)} a sword{H2719} against nation{H1471}, neither shall they learn{H3925}{(H8799)} war{H4421} any more.

Verse 4

But they shall sit{H3427}{(H8804)} every man{H376} under his vine{H1612} and under his fig tree{H8384}; and none shall make them afraid{H2729}{(H8688)}: for the mouth{H6310} of the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} hath spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} it.

Verse 5

For all people{H5971} will walk{H3212}{(H8799)} every one{H376} in the name{H8034} of his god{H430}, and we will walk{H3212}{(H8799)} in the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068} our God{H430} for ever{H5769} and ever{H5703}.

Verse 6

In that day{H3117}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, will I assemble{H622}{(H8799)} her that halteth{H6760}{(H8802)}, and I will gather{H6908}{(H8762)} her that is driven out{H5080}{(H8737)}, and her that I have afflicted{H7489}{(H8689)};

Verse 7

And I will make{H7760}{(H8804)} her that halted{H6760}{(H8802)} a remnant{H7611}, and her that was cast far off{H1972}{(H8737)} a strong{H6099} nation{H1471}: and the LORD{H3068} shall reign{H4427}{(H8804)} over them in mount{H2022} Zion{H6726} from henceforth, even for{H5704} ever{H5769}.

And thou, O tower{H4026} of the flock{H5739}{(H8677)}{H4029}, the strong hold{H6076} of the daughter{H1323} of Zion{H6726}, unto thee shall it come{H857}{(H8799)}, even the first{H7223} dominion{H4475}; the kingdom{H4467} shall come{H935}{(H8804)} to the daughter{H1323} of Jerusalem{H3389}.

Verse 9

Now why dost thou cry{H7321}{(H8686)} out aloud{H7452}? is there no king{H4428} in thee? is thy counsellor{H3289}{(H8802)} perished{H6}{(H8804)}? for pangs{H2427} have taken{H2388}{(H8689)} thee as a woman in travail{H3205}{(H8802)}.

Verse 10

Be in pain{H2342}{(H8798)}, and labour to bring forth{H1518}{(H8798)}, O daughter{H1323} of Zion{H6726}, like a woman in travail{H3205}{(H8802)}: for now shalt thou go forth{H3318}{(H8799)} out of the city{H7151}, and thou shalt dwell{H7931}{(H8804)} in the field{H7704}, and thou shalt go{H935}{(H8804)} even to Babylon{H894}; there shalt thou be delivered{H5337}{(H8735)}; there the LORD{H3068} shall redeem{H1350}{(H8799)} thee from the hand{H3709} of thine enemies{H341}{(H8802)}.

Verse 11

Now also many{H7227} nations{H1471} are gathered{H622}{(H8738)} against thee, that say{H559}{(H8802)}, Let her be defiled{H2610}{(H8799)}, and let our eye{H5869} look{H2372}{(H8799)} upon Zion{H6726}.

Verse 12

But they know{H3045}{(H8804)} not the thoughts{H4284} of the LORD{H3068}, neither understand{H995}{(H8689)} they his counsel{H6098}: for he shall gather{H6908}{(H8765)} them as the sheaves{H5995} into the floor{H1637}.

Verse 13

Arise{H6965}{(H8798)} and thresh{H1758}{(H8798)}, O daughter{H1323} of Zion{H6726}: for I will make{H7760}{(H8799)} thine horn{H7161} iron{H1270}, and I will make{H7760}{(H8799)} thy hoofs{H6541} brass{H5154}: and thou shalt beat in pieces{H1854}{(H8689)} many{H7227} people{H5971}: and I will consecrate{H2763}{(H8689)} their gain{H1215} unto the LORD{H3068}, and their substance{H2428} unto the Lord{H113} of the whole earth{H776}.
