3 He shall judge between many peoples,And rebuke strong nations afar off;They shall beat their swords into plowshares,And their spears into pruning hooks;Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,Neither shall they learn war anymore.
4 But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree,And no one shall make them afraid;For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
5 For all people walk each in the name of his god,But we will walk in the name of the Lord our GodForever and ever.
6 “In that day,” says the Lord,“I will assemble the lame,I will gather the outcastAnd those whom I have afflicted;
7 I will make the lame a remnant,And the outcast a strong nation;So the Lord will reign over them in Mount ZionFrom now on, even forever.
8 And you, O tower of the flock,The stronghold of the daughter of Zion,To you shall it come,Even the former dominion shall come,The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.”
9 Now why do you cry aloud?Is there no king in your midst?Has your counselor perished?For pangs have seized you like a woman in labor.
