As they come, people from many nations will say, ‘Come! We will go to the mountain of the Lord, Jacob's God. We will go to worship him at his temple. Then he will teach us how to live in a way that pleases him. We will be able to walk in his paths.’

At that time, Zion will be the place where people learn about what is right. Yes, in Jerusalem the Lord will teach people his message.[a]

God will be the judge between different nations. When they argue together, he will say who is right. They will take their swords and they will make them into ploughs.

Jacob's family, come now! We need to live in the light that the Lord gives to us.[b]
