Micah 4:1-3

New Century Version

The Mountain of the Lord

4 In the last days
    the mountain on which the Lord’s Temple stands
    will become the most important of all mountains.
It will be raised above the hills,
    and people from other nations will come streaming to it.
²Many nations will come and say,
    “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the Temple of the God of Jacob,
so that he can teach us his ways,
    and we can obey his teachings.”
His teachings will go out from Jerusalem,
    the word of the Lord from that city.
³The Lord will judge many nations;
    he will make decisions about strong nations that are far away.
They will hammer their swords into plow blades
    and their spears into hooks for trimming trees.
Nations will no longer raise swords against other nations;
    they will not train for war anymore.
