Micah 4:5

Micah 4:5

3 He shall judge between many peoples,
And rebuke strong nations afar off;
They shall beat their swords into ^aplowshares,
And their spears into¹ pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
^bNeither shall they learn war anymore.

4 ^aBut 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 ^awe will walk in the name of the Lord our God
Forever and ever.

Zion’s Future Triumph

6 “In that day,” says the Lord,
^a“I will assemble the lame,
^bI will gather the outcast
And those whom I have afflicted;

7 I will make the lame ^aa remnant,
And the outcast a strong nation;
So the Lord ^bwill reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on, even forever.

Micah 4:6 >>

For—rather, Though it be that all people walk after their several gods, yet we (the Jews in the dispersion) will walk in the name of the Lord. So the Hebrew particle means in the Margin, Genesis 8:21; Exodus 13:17; Joshua 17:18. The resolution of the exile Jews is: As Jehovah gives us hope of so glorious a restoration, notwithstanding the overthrow of our temple and nation, we must in confident reliance on His promise persevere in the true worship of Him, however the nations around, our superiors now in strength and numbers, walk after their gods [ROSENMULLER]. As the Jews were thoroughly weaned from idols by the Babylonian captivity, so they shall be completely cured of unbelief by their present long dispersion (Zechariah 10:8-12).
