Micah 3:8-4:5

New International Version

⁸ But as for me, I am filled with power,
    with the Spirit of the Lord,
    and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression,
    to Israel his sin.^(A)

⁹ Hear this, you leaders of Jacob,
    you rulers of Israel,
who despise justice
    and distort all that is right;^(B)
10 who build^(C) Zion with bloodshed,^(D)
    and Jerusalem with wickedness.^(E)
11 Her leaders judge for a bribe,^(F)
    her priests teach for a price,^(G)
    and her prophets tell fortunes for money.^(H)
Yet they look^(I) for the Lord’s support and say,
    “Is not the Lord among us?
    No disaster will come upon us.”^(J)
12 Therefore because of you,
    Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble,^(K)
    the temple^(L) hill a mound overgrown with thickets.^(M)

the mountain^(O) of the Lord’s temple will be established
    as the highest of the mountains;
it will be exalted above the hills,^(P)
    and peoples will stream to it.^(Q)

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,^(R)
    to the temple of the God of Jacob.^(S)
He will teach us^(T) his ways,^(U)
    so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law^(V) will go out from Zion,
    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
³ He will judge between many peoples
    and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide.^(W)
They will beat their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks.^(X)
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
    nor will they train for war^(Y) anymore.^(Z)
4 Everyone will sit under their own vine
    and under their own fig tree,^(AA)
and no one will make them afraid,^(AB)
    for the Lord Almighty has spoken.^(AC)
5 All the nations may walk
    in the name of their gods,^(AD)
but we will walk in the name of the Lord
    our God for ever and ever.^(AE)
