And gone have many nations and said, Come and we go up to the mount of Jehovah, And unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we do walk in His paths, For from Zion doth go forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
Micah 4:1 And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mount of the house of Jehovah Is established above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the hills, And flowed unto it have peoples.
Micah 4:2 And gone have many nations and said, Come and we go up to the mount of Jehovah, And unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we do walk in His paths, For from Zion doth go forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
Micah 4:3 And He hath judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations afar off, They have beaten their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation lifteth not up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn war any more.
Micah 4:4 And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of Jehovah of Hosts hath spoken.
The verse centers on "gone", "nations", "said", "come", "mount", "jehovah", "house", and "jacob". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "gone" and "nations", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 1's "And it hath come to pass In..." into verse 3's "And He hath judged between many peoples...", so "gone" and "nations" 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 "gone" and "nations" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
