And many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
So that He may teach us [a]about His ways,
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For [b]the law will go out (A)from Zion
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
And He will judge between the nations,
And will mediate for many peoples;
And (B)they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning knives.
(C)Nation will not lift up a sword against nation,
And never again will they learn war.

Come, (D)house of Jacob, and let’s walk in the (E)light of the Lord.
