Isaiah 2:2-3
Christian Standard Bible
2 In(A) the last days(B)
the mountain of the Lord’s house(C) will be established
at the top of the mountains
and will be raised above the hills.
All nations will stream to it,(D)
3 and many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob.(E)
He will teach us about his ways
so that we may walk in his paths.”
For instruction will go out of Zion
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

19 Lord, my strength and my stronghold,
my refuge in a time of distress,(A)

from the ends of the earth, and they will say,
“Our ancestors inherited only lies,

The Lord’s Rule from Restored Zion
4 In the last days(A)
the mountain of the Lord’s house(B)
will be established
at the top of the mountains
and will be raised above the hills.
Peoples will stream to it,(C)
2 and many nations will come and say,(D)
“Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord,(E)
to the house of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us about his ways(F)
so we may walk in his paths.”
For instruction will go out of Zion(G)
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
3 He will settle disputes among many peoples(H)
and provide arbitration for strong nations
that are far away.
They will beat their swords into plows
and their spears into pruning knives.
Nation will not take up the sword against nation,
and they will never again train for war.
Malachi 1:11-14
Christian Standard Bible
11 “My name will be great among the nations,(A) from the rising of the sun to its setting. Incense[a] and pure offerings will be presented in my name in every place because my name will be great among the nations,”[b] says the Lord of Armies.
12 “But you are profaning it(B) when you say, ‘The Lord’s table is defiled, and its product, its food, is contemptible.’ 13 You also say, ‘Look, what a nuisance!’ And you scorn[c] it,”[d](C) says the Lord of Armies. “You bring stolen,[e](D) lame, or sick animals. You bring this as an offering! Am I to accept that from your hands?” asks the Lord.
14 “The deceiver is cursed who has an acceptable male in his flock and makes a vow but sacrifices a defective animal to the Lord.(E) For I am a great King,” says the Lord of Armies, “and my name will be feared among the nations.
