2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days,
that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be
established in the top of the mountains,
and shall be exalted above the hills;
and all nations shall flow unto it.

2:3 And many people shall go and say,
Come ye, and let us go up
to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of the God of Jacob;
and he will teach us of his ways,
and we will walk in his paths:
for out of Zion shall go forth the law,
and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

2:4 And he shall judge among the nations,
and shall rebuke many people:
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruninghooks:
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.

2:5 O house of Jacob, come ye,
and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

— Isaiah II.2-5 (circa 750 BC)

************************

4:3 And he shall judge among many people,
and rebuke strong nations afar off;
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruninghooks:
nation shall not lift up a sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.

4:4 But they shall sit every man under
his vine and under his fig tree;
and none shall make them afraid:
for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.

4:5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god,
and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

— Micah IV.3-5 (circa 710 BC)
