A reading from
the Book of the Prophet Isaiah 2:1-5
This is what Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
In days to come,/ the mountain of the Lord’s house/ shall be established as the highest mountain/ and raised above the hills./ All nations shall stream toward it;/ many peoples shall come and say:/ “Come, let us climb the Lord’s mountain,/ to the house of the God of Jacob,/ that he may instruct us in his ways,/ and we may walk in his paths.”/ For from Zion shall go forth instruction,/ and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem./ He shall judge between the nations,/ and impose terms on many peoples./ They shall beat their swords into plowshares/ and their spears into pruning hooks;/ one nation shall not raise the sword against another,/ nor shall they train for war again./ O house of Jacob, come,/ let us walk in the light of the Lord!
The word of the Lord.
