Better Days Ahead for Jerusalem

4:1 In the future ¹⁰  the Lord’s Temple Mount will be the most important mountain of all; ¹¹ 

it will be more prominent than other hills. ¹² 

People will stream to it.

4:2 Many nations will come, saying,

“Come on! Let’s go up to the Lord’s mountain,

to the temple ¹³  of Jacob’s God,

so he can teach us his commands ¹⁴ 

and we can live by his laws.” ¹⁵ 

For Zion will be the source of instruction;

the Lord’s teachings will proceed from Jerusalem. ¹⁶ 

[4:29]  ¹ tn Or “mind and being.” See Deut 6:5.

[10:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “house” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[10:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “on one who strikes him down.” This individual is the king (“foreign leader”) of the oppressing nation (which NLT specifies as “the Assyrians”).

Many English versions translate this as “admit their guilt” (NIV, NLT) or “acknowledge their guilt” (NASB, NRSV), but cf. NAB “pay for their guilt” and TEV “have suffered enough for their sins.”
