1 And it comes in the days hereafter, the mount of Yahweh's house shall be established on the summit of the mountains, and it is borne by the hills, and all the peoples stream unto it. 2 And many nations go and say: "Go, and we will ascend to the mount of Yahweh, and to the house of the Elohim of Jacob, and He will direct us in His ways, and we will go in His paths." For from Zion shall fare forth the law, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem. 3 And He judges between many peoples, and corrects staunch nations still afar, and they pound their swords into mattocks, and their spears into pruners; nation is not lifting the sword against nation, nor are they learning war any more. 4 And each man sits under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one is causing them to tremble. For the mouth of Yahweh of hosts has spoken, 5 for all the peoples shall go, each man in the name of his elohim, yet we will go in the name of Yahweh our Elohim, for the eon and further. 6 In that day, (averring is Yahweh), I will gather her that is limping, and I will convene her that is expelled and her to whom I have done evil. 7 And I make her that is limping a remnant, and her that is beyond the border a staunch nation. And Yahweh shall reign over them in mount Zion, henceforth and unto the eon. 8 And you, tower of the drove, hump of the daughter of Zion, unto you shall it arrive, even the former rule shall come, the kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem. 9 Now, why are you shouting a shout? Is there no king among you? Or has your counselor perished? For travail held you fast, as she who is bearing. 10 Travail, and rush forth, daughter of Zion, as if bearing. For now shall you fare forth from the town, and tabernacle in the field, and come unto Babylon. There shall you be rescued; there shall Yahweh your Elohim redeem you from the clutch of your enemies. 11 And now many nations are gathered against you, saying: "She shall be polluted and our eyes will perceive it in Zion." 12 Yet they do not know the devices of Yahweh, nor have they understood His counsel. For he convenes them as a sheaf to the threshing site. 13 Rise and thresh them, daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs copper, and with them you rend nations. And you pulverize many peoples. And you devote to Yahweh their gain, and their estate to the Lord of all the earth.
