4 Then the Lord will settle arguments among many nations.He will make decisions for strong nations that are far away.Then the nations will make their swords into plows.They will make their spears into hooks for trimming trees.Nations will no longer fight other nations.They will not even train for war anymore.
5 Come, family of Jacob.We should follow the way of the Lord.
6 Lord, you have left your people,the family of Jacob.They have become filled with wrong ideas from people in the East.Your people try to tell the future like the Philistines.They have completely accepted those foreign ideas.
7 Their land has been filled with silver and gold.There are a great many treasures there.Their land has been filled with horses.There are many chariots there.
8 Their land is full of idols.The people worship these idols that they made with their own hands.They worship statues shaped by their fingers.
9 People will not be proud any longer.They will bow low with shame.God, do not forgive them.
10 Go into the caves of the cliffs.Dig holes and hide in the ground.Hide from the anger of the Lordand from his great power!
