3. Formal Translation And He {Yahweh, Righteous Judge} will judge among many peoples; He will issue a verdict for powerful nations, even to distant regions. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. A nation will not lift up a sword against another nation, and they will not learn war again. |
3. Dynamic Translation He {Yahweh, Peace-Giving King} will settle disputes among many peoples and decide cases for strong nations far away. They will hammer their swords into plowshares and reshape their spears into pruning tools. One nation will not raise a sword against another, and they will no longer learn how to wage war. |
