1
In the last days, the mountain of the Lord ’s house
will 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.
2
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.
3
The Lord will mediate between peoples
and will settle disputes between strong nations far away.
They will hammer their swords into plowshares
and 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 Armies
has made this promise!
5
Though the nations around us follow their idols,
we will follow the Lord our God forever and ever.
