Dialogue of Justin, Philosopher and Martyr, with Trypho, a Jew

Chapter CIX.--The conversion of the Gentiles has been predicted by Micah.

"But that the Gentiles would repent of the evil in which they led erring lives, when they heard the doctrine preached by His apostles from Jerusalem, and which they learned ¹ through them, suffer me to show you by quoting a short statement from the prophecy of Micah, one of the twelve [minor prophets]. This is as follows: And in the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be manifest, established on the top of the mountains; it shall be exalted above the hills, and people shall flow unto it. ² And many nations shall go, and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall enlighten us in His way, and we shall walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He shall judge among many peoples, and shall rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. And each man shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree; and there shall be none to terrify: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it. For all people will walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will assemble her that is afflicted, and gather her that is driven out, and whom I had plagued; and I shall make her that is afflicted a remnant, and her that is oppressed a strong nation. And the Lord shall reign over them in Mount Zion from henceforth, and even for ever.' " ³

1. Ἀλλ' ὅτι τὰ ἔθνη μετανοεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας, ἐν ᾗ πλανώμενοι ἐπολιτεύοντο, ἀκούσαντα τὸν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλὴμ κηρυχθέντα καὶ δι' αὐτῶν μαθόντα λόγον, καὶ λόγους βραχεῖς λέγοντός μου ἀπὸ προφητείας Μιχαίου, ἑνὸς τῶν δώδεκα, ἀνάσχεσθε.

2. Εἰσὶ δὲ οὗτοι· Καὶ ἔσται ἐπ' ἐσχάτου ἡμερῶν ἐμφανὲς τὸ ὄρος κυρίου, ἕτοιμον ἐπ' ἄκρου τῶν ὀρέων, ἐπηρμένον αὐτὸ ὑπὲρ τοὺς βουνούς· καὶ ποταμὸν θήσονται ἐπ' αὐτῷ λαοί, καὶ πορεύσονται ἔθνη πολλά, καὶ ἐροῦσι· Δεῦτε, ἀναβῶμεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος κυρίου καὶ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ Ἰακώβ, καὶ φωτιοῦσιν ἡμᾶς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πορευσόμεθα ἐν ταῖς τρίβοις αὐτοῦ. ὅτι ἐκ Σιὼν ἐξελεύσεται νόμος καὶ λόγος κυρίου ἐξ Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ κρινεῖ ἀνὰ μέσον λαῶν πολλῶν καὶ ἐλέγξει ἔθνη ἰσχυρὰ ἕως μακράν· καὶ συγκόψουσι τὰς μαχαίρας αὐτῶν εἰς ἄροτρα καὶ τὰς ζιβύνας αὐτῶν εἰς δρέπανα, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἄρῃ ἔθνος ἐπ' ἔθνος μάχαιραν, καὶ οὐ μὴ μάθωσιν ἔτι πολεμεῖν. 3 καὶ καθίσεται ἀνὴρ ὑποκάτω ἀμπέλου αὐτοῦ καὶ ὑποκάτω συκῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐκφοβῶν, ὅτι στόμα κυρίου τῶν δυνάμεων ἐλάλησεν· ὅτι πάντες οἱ λαοὶ πορεύσονται ἐν ὀνόματι θεῶν αὐτῶν, ἡμεῖς δὲ πορευσόμεθα ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου θεοῦ ἡμῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, συνάξω τὴν ἐκτεθλιμμένην, καὶ τὴν ἐξωσμένην ἀθροίσω καὶ ἣν ἐκάκωσα, καὶ θήσω τὴν ἐκτεθλιμμένην εἰς ὑπόλειμμα καὶ τὴν ἐκπεπιεςμένην εἰς ἔθνος ἰσχυρόν· καὶ βασιλεύσει κύριος ἐπ' αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ ὄρει Σιὼν ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
