4. He shall judge between the nations,and set terms for many peoples.They shall beat their swords into plowsharesand their spears into pruning hooks;One nation shall not raise the sword against another,nor shall they train for war again.
5. House of Jacob, come,let us walk in the light of the Lord!
6. You have abandoned your people,the house of Jacob!Because they are filled with diviners,and soothsayers, like the Philistines;with foreigners they clasp hands.
7. Their land is full of silver and gold,there is no end to their treasures;Their land is full of horses,there is no end to their chariots.
8. Their land is full of idols;they bow down to the works of their hands,what their fingers have made.
9. So all shall be abased,each one brought low.Do not pardon them!
10. Get behind the rocks,hide in the dust,From the terror of the Lordand the splendor of his majesty!
11. The eyes of human pride shall be lowered,the arrogance of mortals shall be abased,and the Lord alone will be exalted, on that day.
12. For the Lord of hosts will have his dayagainst all that is proud and arrogant,against all that is high, and it will be brought low;
13. Yes, against all the cedars of Lebanonand against all the oaks of Bashan,
14. Against all the lofty mountainsand all the high hills,
15. Against every lofty towerand every fortified wall,
16. Against all the ships of Tarshishand all stately vessels.
17. Then human pride shall be abased,the arrogance of mortals brought low,And the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.
18. The idols will vanish completely.
