3 He shall judge between many peoplesand set terms for strong and distant nations;They shall beat their swords into plowshares,and their spears into pruning hooks;One nation shall not raise the sword against another,nor shall they train for war again.
4 They shall all sit under their own vines,under their own fig trees, undisturbed;for the Lord of hosts has spoken.
5 Though all the peoples walk,each in the name of its god,We will walk in the name of the Lord,our God, forever and ever.
6 On that day—oracle of the Lord—I will gather the lame,And I will assemble the outcasts,and those whom I have afflicted.
7 I will make of the lame a remnant,and of the weak a strong nation;The Lord shall be king over them on Mount Zion,from now on and forever.
8 And you, O tower of the flock,hill of daughter Zion!To you it shall come:the former dominion shall be restored,the reign of daughter Jerusalem.
9 Now why do you cry out so?Are you without a king?Or has your adviser perished,That you are seized with painslike a woman in labor?
