| 3Many groups of people will come, commenting, "Come! Let's go up to the Temple of the God of Jacob, that they may teach us his ways. Then let's walk in his paths." "Instruction will proceed from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. | 3and many peoples will come and say," Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us about His ways so that we may walk in His paths." For instruction will go out of Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. |
| 4He will judge between the nations, and will render verdicts for the benefit of many. "They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nations will not raise swords against nations, and they will not learn warfare anymore. | 4He will settle disputes among the nations and provide arbitration for many peoples. They will turn their swords into plows and their spears into pruning knives. Nations will not take up the sword against other nations, and they will never again train for war. |
| 5"You house of Jacob! Come! Let's live in the LORD's light. | 5House of Jacob, come and let us walk in the LORD's light. |

| 8Their land is filled with idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their own fingers have made. | 8Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made. |

| 14against all the high mountains, and against all the lofty hills; | 14against all the high mountains, against all the lofty hills, |
| 15against every high tower, and against every fortified wall; | 15against every high tower, against every fortified wall, |
| 16against all the ships from Tarshish, and against all their impressive watercraft. | 16against every ship of Tarshish, and against every splendid sea vessel. |

| 20At that time, mankind will throw their silver and gold idols that their fingers have made as objects of worship to the moles and to the bats. | 20On that day people will throw their silver and gold idols, which they made to worship, to the moles and the bats. |
| 21They will enter caverns in the rocks and clefts in the cliffs, to escape the terror of the LORD and to escape the splendor of his majesty, when he arises to terrorize the earth. | 21They will go into the caves of the rocks and the crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from His majestic splendor, when He rises to terrify the earth. |
| 22"Stop trusting in human beings, whose life breath is in their nostrils, for what are they really worth?" | 22Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. What is he really worth? |
