4 He will render judgment among the nations

And set matters straight* respecting many peoples.

They will beat their swords into plowshares

And their spears into pruning shears.+

Nation will not lift up sword against nation,

Nor will they learn war anymore.+

 9 They will not cause any harm+

Or any ruin in all my holy mountain,+

Because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah

As the waters cover the sea.+

You will be far removed from oppression,+

You will fear nothing and have no cause for terror,

For it will not come near you.+

 8 I will encamp as a guard* for my house,+

So that there will be no one passing through and no one returning;

And no taskmaster* will pass through again,+

For now I have seen it* with my eyes.
