41 And it will come about in the last days That the mountain of the house of the Lord Will be established as the chief of the mountains . It will be raised above the hills , And the peoples will stream to it. 2 Many nations will come and say , " Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord And to the house of the God of Jacob , That He may teach us about His ways And that we may walk in His paths ." For from Zion will go forth the law , Even the word of the Lord from Jerusalem . 3 And He will judge between many peoples And render decisions for mighty , distant nations . Then they will hammer their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks ; Nation will not lift up sword against nation , And never again will they train for war . 4 Each of them will sit under his vine And under his fig tree , With no one to make them afraid , For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken . 5 Though all the peoples walk Each in the name of his god , As for us, we will walk In the name of the Lord our God forever and ever .

8 "As for you, tower of the flock , Hill of the daughter of Zion , To you it will come - Even the former dominion will come , The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem . 9 "Now , why do you cry out loudly ? Is there no king among you, Or has your counselor perished , That agony has gripped you like a woman in childbirth ? 10 " Writhe and labor to give birth , Daughter of Zion , Like a woman in childbirth ; For now you will go out of the city , Dwell in the field , And go to Babylon . There you will be rescued ; There the Lord will redeem you From the hand of your enemies . 11 "And now many nations have been assembled against you Who say , 'Let her be polluted , And let our eyes gloat over Zion .' 12 "But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord , And they do not understand His purpose ; For He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor . 13 "Arise and thresh , daughter of Zion , For your horn I will make iron And your hoofs I will make bronze , That you may pulverize many peoples , That you may devote to the Lord their unjust gain And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth .
