Micah 4:6-13
New American Standard Bible
6 “On that day,” declares the Lord,
“I will assemble those who (A)limp
And (B)gather the scattered,
Those whom I have afflicted.
7 I will make those who limp a (C)remnant,
And those who [a]have strayed a mighty nation,
And the (D)Lord will reign over them on Mount Zion
From now on and forever.
8 As for you, [b](E)tower of the flock,
[c]Hill of the daughter of Zion,
To you it will come—
Yes, the (F)former dominion will come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 “Now, why do you (G)cry out loudly?
Is there no king among you,
Or has your (H)counselor perished,
That agony has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?
10 (I)Writhe and scream,
Daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in childbirth;
For now you will (J)go out of the city,
Live in the field,
And go to Babylon.
(K)There you will be rescued,
(L)There the Lord will redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.
11 And now (M)many nations have been assembled against you
Who say, ‘Let her be defiled,
And let our eyes [d]gloat over Zion!’
12 But they do not (N)know the thoughts of the Lord,
And they do not understand His plan;
For He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 Arise and (O)thresh, daughter of Zion,
For I will make your horn iron,
And I will make your hoofs bronze,
So that you may (P)pulverize many peoples,
And (Q)dedicate to the Lord their unjust profit,
And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.

6 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“I will assemble the (A)lame
And (B)gather the outcasts,
Even those whom I have afflicted.
7 “I will make the lame a (C)remnant
And the outcasts a strong nation,
And the (D)Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on and forever.
8 “As for you, [a](E)tower of the flock,
[b]Hill of the daughter of Zion,
To you it will come—
Even the (F)former dominion will come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 “Now, why do you (G)cry out loudly?
Is there no king among you,
Or has your (H)counselor perished,
That agony has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?
10 “(I)Writhe and labor to give birth,
Daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in childbirth;
For now you will (J)go out of the city,
Dwell in the field,
And go to Babylon.
(K)There you will be rescued;
(L)There the Lord will redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.
11 “And now (M)many nations have been assembled against you
Who say, ‘Let her be polluted,
And let our eyes [c]gloat over Zion.’
12 “But they do not (N)know the thoughts of the Lord,
And they do not understand His purpose;
For He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “Arise and (O)thresh, daughter of Zion,
For your horn I will make iron
And your hoofs I will make bronze,
That you may (P)pulverize many peoples,
That you may (Q)devote to the Lord their unjust gain
And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.

The Lord’s Plan
6 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“I will gather the lame;(A)
I will assemble the exiles(B)
and those I have brought to grief.(C)
7 I will make the lame my remnant,(D)
those driven away a strong nation.(E)
The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion(F)
from that day and forever.(G)
8 As for you, watchtower of the flock,
stronghold[a] of Daughter Zion,
the former dominion will be restored(H) to you;
kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.(I)”
9 Why do you now cry aloud—
have you no king[b](J)?
Has your ruler[c] perished,
that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?(K)
10 Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion,
like a woman in labor,
for now you must leave the city
to camp in the open field.
You will go to Babylon;(L)
there you will be rescued.
There the Lord will redeem(M) you
out of the hand of your enemies.
11 But now many nations
are gathered against you.
They say, “Let her be defiled,
let our eyes gloat(N) over Zion!”
12 But they do not know
the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,(O)
that he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “Rise and thresh,(P) Daughter Zion,
for I will give you horns of iron;
I will give you hooves of bronze,
and you will break to pieces many nations.”(Q)
You will devote their ill-gotten gains to the Lord,(R)
their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
