People From Many Nations Will Worship at the Lord’s Mountain

4 In the last days

the mountain where the Lord’s temple is located will be famous.
It will be the highest mountain of all.
It will be lifted up above the hills.
And nations will go to it.

²People from many nations will go there. They will say,

“Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain.
    Let’s go to the temple of Jacob’s God.
He will teach us how we should live.
    Then we will live the way he wants us to.”
The law of the Lord will be taught at Zion.
    His message will go out from Jerusalem.
³He will judge between people from many nations.
    He’ll settle problems among strong nations everywhere.
They will hammer their swords into plows.
    They’ll hammer their spears into pruning tools.
Nations will not go to war against one another.
    They won’t even train to fight anymore.
