Isaiah 2:1-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The City of Peace
2 The vision that Isaiah(A) son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 In(B) the last days(C)
the mountain of the Lord’s house(D) will be established
at the top of the mountains
and will be raised above the hills.
All nations will stream to it,(E)
3 and many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob.(F)
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 turn their swords into plows
and their spears into pruning knives.(G)
Nations will not take up the sword against other nations,
and they will never again train for war.(H)
Isaiah 42:6-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 “I, Yahweh, have called You
for a righteous purpose,[a](A)
and I will hold You by Your hand.(B)
I will keep You and appoint You
to be a covenant for the people(C)
and a light to the nations,(D)
7 in order to open blind eyes,(E)
to bring out prisoners from the dungeon,(F)
and those sitting in darkness from the prison house.
