4 In the last days it’ll come about

that the mountain where Yahweh’s residence is

will become more important than other mountains.

Then it’ll be lifted above the hills,

and peoples will stream to it.

2 Many nations will go and say,

“Come, let’s go up to Yahweh’s mountain,

≈ to the house of the Yakob’s god

so that he will teach us his ways,

≈ and we will walk on his paths.”

Because the law will go out from Tsiyyon,

≈ and Yahweh’s message from Yerushalem.

3 He’ll judge among many peoples

≈ and will arbitrate for strong countries far away.

They’ll beat their swords into plough blades

≈ and their spears into pruning hooks.

Nations won’t attack other nations,

≈ nor will they train for war any longer.

4 Then every person will be able to sit under their grapevine

≈ and under their fig tree.

No one will make them afraid,

because army commander Yahweh has spoken.[ref]

5 All various people groups follow their own god,

≈ but we will obey our god Yahweh’s instructions

forever and ever.
