The Lord Will Teach the Nations(A)

In the last days the mountain of Yahweh’s house
    will be established as the highest of the mountains
        and raised above the hills.
            People will stream to it.
Then many nations will come and say,
    “Let’s go to the mountain of Yahweh,
        to the house of the Elohim of Jacob.
            He will teach us his ways so that we may live by them.”
    The teachings will go out from Zion.
    The word of Yahweh will go out from Jerusalem.
Then he will judge disputes between many people
    and settle arguments between many nations far and wide.
    They will hammer their swords into plowblades
        and their spears into pruning shears.
    Nations will never fight against each other,
        and they will never train for war again.
