6 "In that day," declares the Lord, "I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief.
6 In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
6 In that day, declares the Lord, I will assemble the lame and gather those who have been driven away and those whom I have afflicted;
6 "On that great day," God says, "I will round up all the hurt and homeless, everyone I have bruised or banished.
6 "In that day," says the Lord, "I will assemble the lame, I will gather the outcast And those whom I have afflicted;
6 "In that coming day," says the Lord, "I will gather together those who are lame, those who have been exiles, and those whom I have filled with grief.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Micah 4:6
Commentary on Micah 4:1-8
(Read Micah 4:1-8)
The nations have not yet so submitted to the Prince of Peace, as to beat their swords into ploughshares, nor has war ceased. But very precious promises these are, relating to the gospel church, which will be more and more fulfilled, for He is faithful that has promised. There shall be a glorious church for God set up in the world, in the last days, in the days of the Messiah. Christ himself will build it upon a rock. The Gentiles worshipped their idol gods; but in the period spoken of, the people will cleave to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and delight in doing his will. The word "halteth," describes those who walk not according to the Divine word. The collecting the captives from Babylon was an earnest of healing, purifying, and prospering the church; and the reign of Christ shall continue till succeeded by the everlasting kingdom of heaven. Let us stir up each other to attend the ordinances of God, that we may learn his holy ways, and walk in them, receiving the law from his hands, which, being written in our hearts by his Spirit, may show our interest in the Redeemer's righteousness.
