The Law Will Go Forth from Zion

Now it will be that in the (A)last days
The (B)mountain of the house of Yahweh
Will be established [a]as the head of the mountains,
And will be lifted up above the hills,
And the (C)peoples will stream to it.
(D)And many nations will come and say,
(E)Come and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh
And to the house of the God of Jacob,
That (F)He may instruct us from His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For (G)from Zion will go forth the law,
And the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
And He will (H)judge between many peoples
And will render decisions for mighty, [b]distant nations.
And they will hammer their swords (I)into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
And never again will they learn war.
And each of them will (J)sit under his vine
And under his fig tree,
With (K)no one to make them tremble,
For the (L)mouth of Yahweh of hosts has spoken.
Though all the peoples walk
Each in the (M)name of his god,
As for us, (N)we will walk
In the name of (O)Yahweh our God forever and ever.
