Micah 4:2

People from many nations will say to each other, “Let’s go to the mountain where Yahweh is, to the temple where we can worship the God whom Jacob worshiped. There God will teach us how he wants us to conduct our lives, and we will do what he wants us to do.” Zion Hill is the place where he will teach people; and people will go out from Jerusalem to tell others his messages.

Translation for Translators

In The King James Version

And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, 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 the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

In Context

1Yahweh says that some day his temple will be on top of a mountain, and that mountain will be the most important [MET] one on the earth; it will be as though it is higher than all the hills, and huge groups of people from all over the world will come there to worship.

3Yahweh will settle disputes between many people, and he will also settle disputes between powerful nations that are far away. Then people will hammer their swords to cause them to become plow blades, and hammer their spears to cause them to become pruning knives. Armies of nations will no longer fight against armies of other nations, and they will no longer train men how to fight in wars.
