Micah 4:5-11 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

5. For all the nations walk, each in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God, forever and ever.

6. “In that day,” declares Yahweh, “I will assemble the one who limps, and I will gather the one who has been scattered, and those whom I have mistreated.

7. And I will make the one who limps a remnant, and the one driven far away a strong nation, and Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion from now to forever.

8. And you, O Migdal-Eder, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, and the former dominion will come, the reign of the daughter of Jerusalem.

9. So then, why do you shout a loud shout? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished that pangs like a woman in labor have seized you?

10. Writhe and groan, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will go forth from the city, and you will camp in the field; you will go to Babylon. There you will be rescued; there Yahweh will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.

11. And now, many nations are gathered against you who are saying, ‘Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.’
