31AND HE WILL BECOME THE STRONG [PERSON] <INTO> TOW AND WORK HIS <INTO> A SPARK AND THEY WILL BURN BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER AND THERE NOT [WILL BE ONE WHO] EXTINGUISHES 31The strong man will become tinder and his work will be a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the flames.
1THE WORD WHICH HE SAW ISAIAH [THE] SON OF AMOZ ON JUDAH AND JERUSALEM The Mountain of the House of the LORD (Micah 4:1–5) 1This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2AND IT WILL BE AT [THE] END OF THE DAYS ESTABLISHED IT WILL BE [THE] MOUNTAIN OF [THE] HOUSE OF YAHWEH <IN> [THE] CHIEF OF THE MOUNTAINS AND LIFTED UP MORE THAN [THE] HILLS AND THEY WILL STREAM TO IT ALL THE NATIONS 2In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
3AND THEY WILL COME PEOPLES MANY AND THEY WILL SAY COME SO WE MAY GO UP TO [THE] MOUNTAIN OF YAHWEH TO [THE] HOUSE OF [THE] GOD OF JACOB SO HE MAY TEACH US OF WAYS HIS SO WE MAY WALK IN PATHS HIS FOR FROM ZION IT WILL GO FORTH INSTRUCTION AND [THE] WORD OF YAHWEH FROM JERUSALEM 3And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4AND HE WILL JUDGE BETWEEN THE NATIONS AND HE WILL DECIDE FOR PEOPLES MANY AND THEY WILL BEAT SWORDS THEIR <INTO> PLOWSHARES AND SPEARS THEIR <INTO> PRUNING KNIVES NOT IT WILL LIFT UP NATION AGAINST NATION SWORD AND NOT THEY WILL LEARN AGAIN WARFARE 4Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.
5O HOUSE OF JACOB COME SO LET US WALK IN [THE] LIGHT OF YAHWEH The Day of Reckoning 5Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6FOR YOU HAVE ABANDONED PEOPLE YOUR [THE] HOUSE OF JACOB FOR THEY ARE FULL FROM [THE] EAST AND SOOTHSAYERS LIKE THE PHILISTINES AND WITH [THE] CHILDREN OF FOREIGNERS THEY CLAP HANDS 6For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.
7AND IT HAS BEEN FILLED LAND ITS SILVER AND GOLD AND THERE NOT [IS] AN END TO TREASURES ITS AND IT HAS BEEN FILLED LAND ITS HORSES AND THERE NOT [IS] AN END TO CHARIOTS ITS 7Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.
8AND IT HAS BEEN FILLED LAND ITS IDOLS TO [THE] WORK OF HANDS HIS THEY BOW DOWN TO [THAT] WHICH THEY HAVE MADE FINGERS HIS 8Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.
9AND HE HAS BEEN HUMBLED EVERYONE AND HE HAS BECOME LOW EVERYONE AND MAY NOT YOU FORGIVE <TO> THEM 9So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled— do not forgive them!
10GO IN THE ROCK AND HIDE YOURSELF IN THE DUST FROM BEFORE [THE] DREAD OF YAHWEH AND FROM [THE] SPLENDOR OF MAJESTY HIS 10Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.
11EYES OF HAUGHTINESS OF A PERSON IT WILL BECOME LOW AND IT WILL BE HUMBLED [THE] PRIDE OF PEOPLE AND HE WILL BE EXALTED YAHWEH TO ONLY HIM IN THE DAY <THE> THAT 11The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
12FOR A DAY [BELONGS] TO YAHWEH OF HOSTS ON EVERY PROUD [THING] AND LOFTY [THING] AND ON EVERY [THING] LIFTED UP AND [IT WILL BE] LOW 12For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted— it will be humbled—
13AND ON ALL [THE] CEDARS OF <THE> LEBANON THAT ARE LOFTY AND WHICH ARE LIFTED UP AND ON ALL [THE] OAKS OF <THE> BASHAN 13against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,
14AND ON ALL THE MOUNTAINS THAT ARE LOFTY AND ON ALL THE HILLS THAT ARE LIFTED UP 14against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills,
15AND ON EVERY TOWER HIGH AND ON EVERY WALL FORTIFIED 15against every high tower, against every fortified wall,
16AND ON ALL [THE] SHIPS OF TARSHISH AND ON ALL [THE] SHIPS OF <THE> DESIRE 16against every ship of Tarshish,*NoteCloseOr every ship of trade and against every stately vessel.
17AND IT WILL BE HUMBLED [THE] HAUGHTINESS OF <THE> HUMANKIND AND IT WILL BECOME LOW [THE] PRIDE OF PEOPLE AND HE WILL BE EXALTED YAHWEH TO ONLY HIM IN THE DAY <THE> THAT 17So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
19AND PEOPLE WILL GO IN CAVES OF [THE] ROCKS AND IN HOLES OF [THE] GROUND FROM BEFORE [THE] DREAD OF YAHWEH AND FROM [THE] SPLENDOR OF MAJESTY HIS WHEN ARISES HE TO TERRIFY THE EARTH 19Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
20IN THE DAY <THE> THAT IT WILL THROW AWAY <THE> HUMANKIND <OBJ.> [THE] IDOLS OF SILVER ITS AND <OBJ.> [THE] IDOLS OF GOLD ITS WHICH THEY MADE FOR HIMSELF TO BOW DOWN TO [THE] DIGGING OF MOLES AND TO THE BATS 20In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold— the idols they made to worship.
21TO GO IN [THE] CREVICES OF THE ROCKS AND IN [THE] CLEFTS OF THE CLIFFS FROM BEFORE [THE] DREAD OF YAHWEH AND FROM [THE] SPLENDOR OF MAJESTY HIS WHEN ARISES HE TO TERRIFY THE EARTH 21They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
22CEASE <FOR> YOURSELVES FROM <THE> HUMANKIND WHOM BREATH [IS] IN NOSTRIL[S] HIS FOR <IN> HOW? TO BE ACCOUNTED [IS] HE 22Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
