1
But it shall be in the last days, that the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established on◦ the head of the mountains, and it◦ shall be lifted··up from the hills; and peoples shall flow··together to it.
2
And many nations shall walk and say, Go, and let us go··up to▵ the mountain of Jehovah, and to▵ the house of the God of Jacob; and He will instruct us of His ways, and we will walk◦ in His paths; for the law shall go··out from Zion, and the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
3
And He shall judge between many peoples, and reprove numerous nations afar··off; and they shall beat their swords into◦ mattocks, and their spears into◦ pruninghooks; nation shall not lift a sword against▵ nation, and they shall not learn war any··more.
4
But they shall sit, a man◦ under his vine and under his fig··tree, and none shall frighten them; for the mouth of Jehovah of Armies has spoken it.
5
For all the people will walk◦ each··man◦ in the name of his god, and we◦ will walk◦ in the name of Jehovah our god to eternity and forever.
6
In that◦ day, says◦ Jehovah, I will gather her who limps, and I will bring··together her who is expelled, and to whom I have done··evil.
7
And I will set her who limped to be left, and her who was driven beyond, for a numerous nation; and Jehovah shall reign over them in Mount Zion, from now and even··to eternity.
8
And thou◦, O tower of the drove*, the summit of the daughter of Zion, to◦ thee shall it come◦; and the rule of the first shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9
Now why dost thou shout with shouting? Is there no king in thee? Shall thy counselor perish? For thou art held··firm with travailing as a woman giving··birth.
10
Travail, and bring··out◦, O daughter of Zion, as a woman giving··birth; for now shalt thou go··out from the city◦, and thou shalt inhabit the field, and thou shalt come even to◦ Babylon; there shalt thou be rescued; there Jehovah shall redeem thee from the palm of the hand of thine enemies.
11
And now many nations are gathered against thee, who say, Let her be··contaminated, and let our eyes behold against◦ Zion.
12
But they◦ know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they His counsel; for He shall bring· them ·together as the sheaves of the threshing··floor.
13
Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will set thy horn as iron, and I will set thy hoofs as bronze, and thou shalt make··thin many peoples; and I will devote their gain to Jehovah, and their belongings to the Lord of all the earth.
