In the last days(A)

the mountain(B) of the Lord’s temple will be established
    as the highest of the mountains;(C)
it will be exalted(D) above the hills,
    and all nations will stream to it.(E)

Many peoples(F) will come and say,

“Come, let us go(G) up to the mountain(H) of the Lord,
    to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
    so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law(I) will go out from Zion,
    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.(J)
He will judge(K) between the nations
    and will settle disputes(L) for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks.(M)
Nation will not take up sword against nation,(N)
    nor will they train for war anymore.

Come, descendants of Jacob,(O)
    let us walk in the light(P) of the Lord.
