In(A) the last days(B)
the mountain of the Lord’s house(C) will be established
at the top of the mountains
and will be raised above the hills.
All nations will stream to it,(D)
and many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob.(E)
He will teach us about His ways
so that we may walk in His paths.”
For instruction will go out of Zion

They will turn their swords into plows
and their spears into pruning knives.(F)
Nations will not take up the sword against other nations,
and they will never again train for war.(G)
