Isaiah 2:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 (A)It [a]shall be in the last days, that the mountain of the House of the Lord shall be prepared in the top of the mountains, and [b]shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall [c]flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go, and say, Come, and let us go up to [d]the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths, (B)for the [e]Law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from [f]Jerusalem.
4 And [g]he shall judge among the nations, and [h]rebuke many people: they shall [i]break their swords also into mattocks, and their spears into scythes: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn [j]to fight anymore.
