The Lord will ·judge [or arbitrate between] many nations;
    he will ·make decisions about [settle disputes between] strong nations that are far away.
They will ·hammer [beat] their swords into ·plow blades [T plowshares]
    and their spears into ·hooks for trimming trees [pruning hooks; Is. 2:4; Joel 3:10].
Nations will no longer raise swords against other nations;
    they will not train for war anymore.
Everyone will sit under his own grapevine and fig tree [C symbols of prosperity],
    and no one will make him afraid,
    because the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] has said it.
All other nations ·may follow [L walk in the name of] their own gods,
    but we will ·follow [L walk in the name of] the Lord our God forever and ever.
