Micah 4:1-5

Contemporary English Version

Peace and Prosperity

4 In the future, the mountain
with the Lord's temple
    will be the highest of all.
It will reach above the hills,
and every nation
    will rush to it.
²People of many nations
    will come and say,
“Let's go up to the mountain
of the Lord God of Jacob
    and worship in his temple.”

The Lord will teach us his Law
from Jerusalem,
    and we will obey him.
³^(A) He will settle arguments
between distant
    and powerful nations.
They will pound their swords
and their spears
    into rakes and shovels;
they will never again make war
    or attack one another.
⁴^(B) Everyone will find rest
beneath their own fig trees
    or grape vines,
and they will live in peace.
This is a solemn promise
    of the Lord All-Powerful.
