3 and 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.”
4 He will settle disputes among great nations.They will hammer their swords into plowsand their spears into pruning knives.Nations will never again go to war,never prepare for battle again.
5 Now, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light which the Lord gives us!
6 O God, you have forsaken your people, the descendants of Jacob! The land is full of magic practices from the East and from Philistia. The people follow foreign customs.
7 Their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses, and there is no end to their chariots.
8 Their land is full of idols, and they worship objects that they have made with their own hands.
9 Everyone will be humiliated and disgraced. Do not forgive them, Lord!
