Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Micah 4
⁴ Each of them will sit under his vine And under his fig tree, With no one to make them afraid, For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
⁵ Though all the peoples walk Each in the name of his god, As for us, we will walk In the name of the Lord our God forever and ever.
⁶ "In that day," declares the Lord, "I will assemble the lame And gather the outcasts, Even those whom I have afflicted.
⁷ "I will make the lame a remnant And the outcasts a strong nation, And the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion From now on and forever.
⁸ "As for you, tower of the flock, Hill of the daughter of Zion, To you it will come- Even the former dominion will come, The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
⁹ "Now, why do you cry out loudly? Is there no king among you, Or has your counselor perished, That agony has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?
¹⁰ "Writhe and labor to give birth, Daughter of Zion, Like a woman in childbirth; For now you will go out of the city, Dwell in the field, And go to Babylon. There you will be rescued; There the Lord will redeem you From the hand of your enemies.
¹¹ "And now many nations have been assembled against you Who say, ’Let her be polluted, And let our eyes gloat over Zion.’
¹² "But they do not 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 thresh, daughter of Zion, For your horn I will make iron And your hoofs I will make bronze, That you may pulverize many peoples, That you may devote to the Lord their unjust gain And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
Micah 5
¹ "Now muster yourselves in troops, daughter of troops; They have laid siege against us; With a rod they will smite the judge of Israel on the cheek.
