1And it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of YHWH shall be established at the head of the mountains, and it shall be lifted up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it.
2And many nations shall go and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YHWH, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths"; for out of Zion shall go forth the Torah, and the word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
3And he shall judge between many peoples, and decide for mighty nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4But they shall sit, every man (ish) under his vine and under his fig tree, and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of YHWH of hosts (tzevaot) has spoken.
5For all the peoples walk, every man (ish) in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of YHWH our God forever and ever.
6In that day, declaration of YHWH, I will gather her who limps, and assemble her who is driven away, and her whom I have afflicted;
7And I will make her who limps a remnant, and her who was cast far off a mighty nation; and YHWH shall reign over them in mount Zion from now and forever.
8And you, O tower of the flock (Migdal-eder), hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it shall come, even the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pangs have seized you like a woman in labor?
10Be in pain and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor; for now you shall go forth out of the city, and dwell in the field, and come even to Babylon; there you shall be rescued; there YHWH shall redeem you from the palm of your enemies.
11And now many nations are gathered against you, saying, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye gaze upon Zion."
12But they do not know the thoughts of YHWH, nor do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and your hoofs I will make bronze; and you shall beat in pieces many peoples; and I will devote their gain to YHWH, and their substance to the Lord of all the earth.
14Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops; a siege he has laid against us; with the rod they smite upon the cheek the judge of Israel.
