The Lord’s Reign in Zion
That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And peoples shall flow to it.
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
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.
And no one shall make them afraid;
For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
But awe will walk in the name of the Lord our God
Forever and ever.
Zion’s Future Triumph
a“I will assemble the lame,
bI will gather the outcast
And those whom I have afflicted;
And the outcast a strong nation;
So the Lord bwill reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on, even forever.
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.”
aIs there no king in your midst?
Has your counselor perished?
For bpangs have seized you like a woman in1 labor.
O daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in birth pangs.
For now you shall go forth from the city,
You shall dwell in the field,
And to aBabylon you shall go.
There you shall be delivered;
There the bLord will credeem you
From the hand of your enemies.
Who say, “Let her be defiled,
And let our eye blook upon Zion.”
Nor do they understand His counsel;
For He will gather them blike sheaves to the threshing floor.
For I will make your horn iron,
And I will make your hooves bronze;
You shall cbeat in pieces many peoples;
dI will consecrate their gain to the Lord,
And their substance to ethe Lord of the whole earth.”
