2And many nations will come and say,

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

and to the templea 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.

3And 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.

4But 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.

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.
