Micah 4:3 in Context — Micah 4

1 Il arrivera, dans la suite des temps, Que la montagne de la maison de l’Éternel Sera fondée sur le sommet des montagnes, Qu’elle s’élèvera par-dessus les collines, Et que les peuples y afflueront.

2 Des nations s’y rendront en foule, et diront: Venez, et montons à la montagne de l’Éternel, A la maison du Dieu de Jacob, Afin qu’il nous enseigne ses voies, Et que nous marchions dans ses sentiers. Car de Sion sortira la loi, Et de Jérusalem la parole de l’Éternel.

3 Il sera le juge d’un grand nombre de peuples, L’arbitre de nations puissantes, lointaines. De leurs glaives ils forgeront des hoyaux, Et de leurs lances des serpes; Une nation ne tirera plus l’épée contre une autre, Et l’on n’apprendra plus la guerre.

4 Ils habiteront chacun sous sa vigne et sous son figuier, Et il n’y aura personne pour les troubler; Car la bouche de l’Éternel des armées a parlé.

5 Tandis que tous les peuples marchent, chacun au nom de son dieu, Nous marcherons, nous, au nom de l’Éternel, notre Dieu, A toujours et à perpétuité.
