and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong 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.
Micah 4:1 But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of Jehovah`s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it.
Micah 4:2 And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, 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 law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem;
Micah 4:3 and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong 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.
Micah 4:4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it.
Micah 4:5 For all the peoples walk every one in the name of his god; and we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God for ever and ever.
The verse centers on "judge", "between", "peoples", "decide", "concerning", "strong", "nations", and "afar". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "judge" and "between", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 2's "And many nations shall go and say..." into verse 4's "But they shall sit every man under...", so "judge" and "between" belong inside that flow. In Micah context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "judge" and "between" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
