And He will judge between the nations,
And will [a]render decisions for many peoples;
And (A)they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.
(B)Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
And never again will they learn war.

Come, (C)house of Jacob, and let us walk in the (D)light of the Lord.
For You have (E)abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled with influences from the east,
And they are soothsayers (F)like the Philistines,
And they (G)strike bargains with the children of foreigners.
