He shall judge between the nations,
    and shall arbitrate for many peoples;
they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
    and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
    neither shall they learn war any more.

    come, let us walk
    in the light of the Lord!

    O house of Jacob.

    and of soothsayers like the Philistines,
    and they clasp hands with foreigners.
