¹And it will be, at the end of the days, that the mountain of the house of Yahweh will be established at the head of the mountains, and it will be lifted up above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.

²Many nations will go and say, 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob, so that he may teach us from his ways, and let us walk in his paths.' For from Zion instruction will go out, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

³He will judge between many peoples and decide matters for mighty nations far away. They will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning-knives. Nation will not lift up a sword against nation, and they will not learn war anymore.

⁴They will dwell, each man under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one will terrify them, for the mouth of Yahweh of hosts has spoken.

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

⁶On that day, the utterance of Yahweh, I will gather the lame and assemble the banished, and those I have hurt.

⁷I will make the lame a remnant, and the far removed a mighty nation; and Yahweh will reign over them on the mountain of Zion from now on and forever.

⁸And you, Migdal-eder, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come; the former dominion will come, the kingdom for the daughter of Jerusalem.

⁹Now, why do you shout, raising a roar? Is there no king in you? Or has your counselor perished, that anguish has seized you like a woman giving birth?

¹⁰Writhe and burst forth, daughter of Zion, like a woman giving birth; for now you will go out from the town and dwell in the field, and you will come as far as Babylon. There you will be delivered; there Yahweh will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.

¹¹And now many nations have gathered against you, those who say, 'Let her be polluted, and let our eyes look on Zion.'

¹²But they do not know the thoughts of Yahweh, and they have not discerned his counsel, that he has gathered them like cut grain to the threshing floor.

¹³Rise and thresh, daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron and make your hooves bronze, and you will crush many peoples; and I will devote their unjust gain to Yahweh, and their wealth to the Lord of all the land.
