Mi 4, 1-13

1 And this shall be: In the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be prepared at the top of the mountains and high above the hills. And the people will flow to it. 2 And many nations will hurry, and will say: “Come, let us ascend to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob. And he will teach us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 3 And he will judge among the many peoples, and he will correct strong nations, even from afar. And they will cut up their swords into plows, and their spears into hoes. Nation will not take up the sword against nation, and they will no longer learn to wage war. 4 And a man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one to fear, for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken. 5 For all people will walk, each one in the name of his god. But we will walk in the name of the Lord our God, forever and ever. 6 In that day, says the Lord, I will gather together the lame. And I will recover her whom I had rejected, and her whom I had afflicted. 7 And I will place the lame within the remnant, and she who had been in distress, within a healthy people. And the Lord will reign over them on Mount Zion, from the present time and even unto eternity. 8 And you, cloudy tower of the flock of the daughter of Zion, even to you it will come. And the first power will arrive, the kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem. 9 Now, why have you come together in grief? Is there not a king in you, or has your counselor gone away? For sorrow has overtaken you, like the pain of giving birth. 10 Be grieved and overwhelmed, daughter of Zion, like a woman giving birth. For now you must depart from the city and dwell in the countryside, and you will approach even to Babylon. There you will be delivered. There the Lord will redeem you from the hand of your adversaries. 11 And now many peoples have been gathered together against you, and they say, “Let her be stoned and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.” 12 But they have not known the thoughts of the Lord, and they have not understood his counsel. For he has gathered them together like hay on a threshing floor. 13 Rise and thresh, daughter of Zion. For I will set your horn like iron, and I will set your hoofs like brass. And you will shatter many peoples, and you will immolate their spoils for the Lord, and their strength for the Lord of the whole earth.

Mich 4,1-3 - Chyba:509

Mich 4,4 - Porov. 1 Kr 5,5; 2 Kr 18,31; Iz 36,16; Zach 3,10.

Mich 4,6-7 - Boh bude láskavo nakladať s národom; ako pastier s roztratenými a porazenými, pokuľhávajúcimi ovcami. – Proroci veľmi často hovoria, že len zvyšky národa sa zachránia. Porov. Sof 3,19.

Mich 4,8 - Jeruzalem sa prirovnáva veži, aké stavali na stráženie stád (2 Krn 26,10). – Mestu sa sľubuje, že bude v ňom panovať kráľ, ako bol kedysi Dávid.

Mich 4,9-10 - Prorok predpovedá, že Júdsko stratí kráľa a jeho obyvatelia pôjdu do Babylonu do zajatia.

Mich 4,11-13 - Nepriateľské národy zhromaždil k Jeruzalemu Pán, aby ich jeho národ mohol zničiť, ako dobytok ničí rohami svojich protivníkov. Aj iný obraz používa prorok. Nepriatelia sú ako snopy na humne, Izrael bude po nich šliapať. Izraeliti často mlátili tak, že poháňali po klasoch dobytok, pod paprčkami ktorého sa zrno vymrvilo z klasov.

Mich 4,14 - Záchrana príde len v budúcnosti. Teraz má Izrael dosť príčin na smútok: Jeruzalem obsadí nepriateľ a s júdskym kráľom (sudcom) bude neľudsky zachádzať. Robiť si zárezy na znak smútku Izraelitom síce zákon zakazoval, ale, tak sa zdá, v neskorších časoch to už nepokladali za zakázané, pozri pozn. k Jer 16,5–7.
