2 In 2:2–4 Mc 4:1–4; Rm 2:20 the last days 2:2 Nm 24:14; Dt 4:30; Ezk 38:16; Hs 3:5
the mountain of the Lord’s house 2:2 2Ch 33:15; Is 27:13; 66:20 will be established
at the top of the mountains
and will be raised above the hills.
All nations will stream to it, 2:2 Ps 22:27; Is 56:7; Zch 14:10
3 and many peoples will come and say,
"Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob. 2:3 Is 29:23; 45:23; 60:13; 66:18
He will teach us about his ways
so that we may walk in his paths."
For instruction will go out of Zion
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 He will settle disputes among the nations
and provide arbitration for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plows
and their spears into pruning knives. 2:4 Is 11:6–9; 32:17–18; Jl 3:10
Nation will not take up the sword against nation,
and they will never again train for war. 2:4 Ps 72:3,7; Is 9:7; Hs 2:18; Zch 9:10
