Isaiah 2

Isaiah 2:4:
He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore. |
The nations do not fling away their weapons, nor do they destroy them. They transform them by beating them into pruning hooks. For every weapon of war there will be a use. The swords will not be shivered, they will be turned into ploughshares’ the spears will not be snapped, they will be fashioned into pruning hooks. It is not enough that men learn war no more, they must go on to learn the higher art of peace.
