Micah 4-6

These chapters from the Bible's book of Micah contain some memorable verses. These:

In the last days
   the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established
      as the highest of the mountains;
   it will be exalted above the hills, 
      and peoples will stream to it.
Many nations will come and say,
   “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, 
      to the temple of the God of Jacob.
   He will teach us his ways, 
      so that we may walk in his paths.” (Micah 4:1-2)

This one, referenced in Matthew's account of Jesus' birth:

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
   though you are small among the clans of Judah,
out of you will come for me
   one who will be ruler over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,
   from ancient times. (Micah 5:2)

And anyone desiring to know one's duty need not read any further than this:

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
   And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
   and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8)
