Isaiah 2:4-6
Wycliffe Bible
4 And he shall deem heathen men, and he shall reprove many peoples; and they shall weld together their swords into shares[a], and their spears into sickles, either scythes; folk shall no more raise sword against folk, and they shall no more be exercised, either haunted, to battle. (And he shall judge the heathen, and he shall rebuke many peoples; and they shall weld together their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles, or into scythes; nation shall no more raise sword against nation, and they shall no more prepare for battle.)
5 Come ye, the house of Jacob, and go we in the light of the Lord.
6 Forsooth thou hast cast away thy people, the house of Jacob, for they be filled as sometime before; and they had false diviners by the chittering of birds, as (the) Philistines, and they cleaved to alien children (and they married foreigners, or strangers).
