Many nations will come and say,
    “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the ·Temple [L house] of the God of Jacob,
so that he can teach us his ways,
    and we can ·obey his teachings [L walk in his paths].”
His ·teachings [instruction; law; L Torah] will go out from ·Jerusalem [L Zion],
    the word of the Lord from ·that city [L Jerusalem].
The Lord will ·judge [or arbitrate between] many nations;
    he will ·make decisions about [settle disputes between] strong nations that are far away.
They will ·hammer [beat] their swords into ·plow blades [T plowshares]
    and their spears into ·hooks for trimming trees [pruning hooks; Is. 2:4; Joel 3:10].
Nations will no longer raise swords against other nations;
    they will not train for war anymore.
Everyone will sit under his own grapevine and fig tree [C symbols of prosperity],
    and no one will make him afraid,
    because the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] has said it.
