THE LORD’S RULE FROM RESTORED ZION

4In the last daysr

the mountain of the Lord’s houses

will be established

at the top of the mountains

and will be raised above the hills.

Peoples will stream to it,t

2and many nations will come and say,u

“Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord,v

to the house of the God of Jacob.

He will teach us about his waysw

so we may walk in his paths.”

For instruction will go out of Zionx

and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

3He will settle disputes among many peoplesy

and provide arbitration for strong nations

that are far away.

They will beat their swords into plows

and their spears into pruning knives.

Nation will not take up the sword against nation,

and they will never again train for war.

4But each person will sit under his grapevinez

and under his fig tree

with no one to frighten him.aa

For the mouth of the Lordab of Armies

has spoken.

5Though all the peoples walk

in the name of their own gods,ac

we will walkad in the name of the Lord our God

forever and ever.ae

ESVEnglish Standard Version

It shall come to pass in the latter days

that the mountain of the house of the Lord

shall be established as the highest of the mountains,

and it shall be lifted up above the hills;

and peoples shall flow to it,

and many nations shall come, and say:

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,

to the house of the God of Jacob,

that he may teach us his ways

and that we may walk in his paths.”

For out of Zion shall go forth the law,

and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

He shall judge between many peoples,

and shall decide disputes for strong nations far away;

and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,

and their spears into pruning hooks;

nation shall not lift up sword against nation,

neither shall they learn war anymore;

but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree,

and no one shall make them afraid,

for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.

For all the peoples walk

each in the name of its god,

but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God

forever and ever.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.”

The law will go out from Zion,

the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

He will judge between many peoples

and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide.

They will beat their swords into plowshares

and their spears into pruning hooks.

Nation will not take up sword against nation,

nor will they train for war anymore.

Everyone will sit under their own vine

and under their own fig tree,

and no one will make them afraid,

for the Lord Almighty has spoken.

All the nations may walk

in the name of their gods,

but we will walk in the name of the Lord

our God for ever and ever.

NLTNew Living Translation

In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house

will be the highest of all—

the most important place on earth.

It will be raised above the other hills,

and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.

People from many nations will come and say,

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,

to the house of Jacob’s God.

There he will teach us his ways,

and we will walk in his paths.”

For the Lord’s teaching will go out from Zion;

his word will go out from Jerusalem.

The Lord will mediate between peoples

and will settle disputes between strong nations far away.

They will hammer their swords into plowshares

and their spears into pruning hooks.

Nation will no longer fight against nation,

nor train for war anymore.

Everyone will live in peace and prosperity,

enjoying their own grapevines and fig trees,

for there will be nothing to fear.

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies

has made this promise!

Though the nations around us follow their idols,

we will follow the Lord our God forever and ever.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And it will be that at the end of those days,

the mountain of the house of Yahweh

will be established as the highest of the mountains,

and it will be lifted up above the hills,

and people will stream to it.

And many nations will come and say,

“Come! Let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh,

and to the temple of the God of Jacob,

that he may teach us his ways,

and that we may walk in his paths,”

for the law will go out from Zion,

and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

And he will judge between many peoples

and will arbitrate for strong nations far away;

and they will beat their swords into plowshares

and their spears into pruning hooks;

nation will not lift up a sword against a nation,

and they will no longer learn war.

But they will sit, each under his vine

and under his fig tree,

and no one will make them afraid,

for the mouth of Yahweh of hosts has spoken.

For all the nations walk,

each in the name of its god,

but we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God,

forever and ever.

KJV 1900King James Version

But 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.

And 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.

And 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.

But 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.

For 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.
