Isaiah 2:3

Isaiah 2:3
New English Translation
3 many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain,
to the temple of the God of Jacob,
so[a] he can teach us his requirements,[b]
and[c] we can follow his standards.”[d]
For Zion will be the center for moral instruction;[e]
the Lord’s message will issue from Jerusalem.
