3. The lord will mediate between peoplesand will settle disputes between strong nations far away.They will hammer their swords into plowsharesand their spears into pruning hooks.Nation will no longer fight against nation,nor train for war anymore.
4. Everyone will live in peace and prosperity,enjoying their own grapevines and fig trees,for there will be nothing to fear.The lord of Heaven’s Armieshas made this promise!
5. Though the nations around us follow their idols,we will follow the lord our God forever and ever.
6. “In that coming day,” says the lord,“I will gather together those who are lame,those who have been exiles,and those whom I have filled with grief.
