2. In the last days, the mountain of the lord’s housewill be the highest of all—the most important place on earth.It will be raised above the other hills,and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.
3. People from many nations will come and say,“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the lord,to the house of Jacob’s God.There he will teach us his ways,and we will walk in his paths.”For the lord’s teaching will go out from Zion;his word will go out from Jerusalem.
4. The lord will mediate between nationsand will settle international disputes.They will hammer their swords into plowsharesand their spears into pruning hooks.Nation will no longer fight against nation,nor train for war anymore.
5. Come, descendants of Jacob,let us walk in the light of the lord!
6. For the lord has rejected his people,the descendants of Jacob,because they have filled their land with practices from the Eastand with sorcerers, as the Philistines do.They have made alliances with pagans.
