Mikas 4:1-7
Bersiyong King James1But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
2And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD , 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 the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.
5For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.
6In 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;
7And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.

Mikas 4:8-13
Bersiyong King James8And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.
10Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
11Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
12But they know not the thoughts of the LORD , neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
13Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD , and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.

Kung saan nagkakaiba ang mga mambabasa
Nagsisimula ang buod sa sinasabi ng sipi at sa ugnayan ng mga bahagi nito. Hindi nito ipinapalagay na nalutas na ng isang denominasyon ang lahat ng tanong. Malinaw na tinutukoy kung ang konklusyon ay nakasalalay sa tradisyon, teoryang pampanitikan, o rekonstruksiyong pangkasaysayan.
Unang inihaharap ang tekstong KJV. Nilalagyan ng malinaw na pangalan ang mga interpretasyon, at ipinapakita lamang ang mga pagkakaiba kapag nakatutulong ang mga ito upang maunawaan kung bakit hindi palaging iisa ang sagot ng mga seryosong komunidad.
Inihahanda pa ang paghahambing ng mga interpretasyon para sa kabanatang ito. Habang wala pa ang mga nasuring tala, malinaw na pinaghihiwalay ng pahinang ito ang teksto ng KJV, buod, at aplikasyon nang hindi sinasabing nagkakasundo ang lahat ng responsableng mambabasa sa bawat tanong.
