1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow to it.
2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning knives: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of Jehovah of hosts has spoken it.
5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God through the Age of the Age. *
6 In that day, says Jehovah, will I assemble her who halts, and I will gather her who is driven out, and her whom I have afflicted;
7 And I will make her who halted a remnant, and her who was cast far off a strong nation: and Jehovah shall reign over them in mount Zion through the Age of the Age.
8 And you, Oh tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, to you shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Is your counselor perished? For pangs have taken you as a woman in travail.
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, Oh daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the city, and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to Babylon; there shall you be delivered; there Jehovah shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Now also many nations are gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
12 But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
13 Arise and thresh, Oh daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain to Jehovah, and their substance to the Lord of the whole Earth.
