2Here is the message which God gave to Isaiah son of Amoz about Judah and Jerusalem:H1697H3470H1121H531H2372H3063H33892In days to come the mountain where the Temple stands will be the highest one of all, towering above all the hills. Many nations will come streaming to it,H319H3117H2022H3068H1004H3559H7218H2022H5375H1389H1471H51023and their people will say, "Let us go up the hill of the LORD, to the Temple of Israel's God. He will teach us what he wants us to do; we will walk in the paths he has chosen. For the LORD's teaching comes from Jerusalem; from Zion he speaks to his people."H7227H5971H1980H559H3212H5927H2022H3068H1004H430H3290H3384H1870H3212H734H6726H3318H8451H1697H3068H33894He will settle disputes among great nations. They will hammer their swords into plows and their spears into pruning knives. Nations will never again go to war, never prepare for battle again.H8199H1471H3198H7227H5971H3807H2719H855H2595H4211H1471H5375H2719H1471H3925H44215Now, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light which the LORD gives us!H1004H3290H3212H3212H216H3068
