3*He will settle disputes

among the nations, among the great powers near and far.

They will hammer their swords into ploughs

and their spears into pruning knives.

Nations will never again go to war,

never prepare for battle again.

4*Everyone will live in peace

among his own vineyards and fig trees,

and no one will make him afraid.

The Lord Almighty has promised this.
