4. He will settle disputes among great nations.They will hammer their swords into ploughsand 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!
