Then God will act as judge to end arguments between people in many places.
    He will decide what is right for great nations far and near.
They will stop using their weapons for war.
    They will hammer their swords into plows
    and use their spears to make tools for harvesting.
All fighting between nations will end.
    They will never again train for war.
They will sit under their own
    grapevine and fig tree.
No one will make them afraid.
    That is because the Lord All-Powerful said it would happen like that.

All the people from other nations follow their own gods,
    but we will follow the Lord our God forever and ever![a]
