The Future House of God
cThat the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
a“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
bFor out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning1 hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.
The Day of the Lord
Because they are filled awith eastern ways;
They are bsoothsayers like the Philistines,
cAnd they1 are pleased with the children of foreigners.
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land is also full of horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.

Isaiah 2:3
To the house - The conjunction vau is added by nineteen of Kennicott' s, thirteen of De Rossi' s MSS., one of my own, and two editions, the Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, Arabic, and some copies of the Targum; And to the house. It makes the sentence more emphatic.
He will teach us of his ways - Unless God grant a revelation of his will, what can we know?
We will walk in his paths - Unless we purpose to walk in the light, of what use can that light be to us?
For out of Zion shall go forth the law - In the house of God, and in his ordinances only can we expect to hear the pure doctrines of revelation preached.
1.God alone can give a revelation of his own will.
2.We must use the proper means in order to know this will.
3.We should know it in order to do it.
4.We should do it in order to profit by it.
5.He who will not walk in the light when God vouchsafes it, shall be shut up in everlasting darkness.
6.Every man should help his neighbor to attain that light, life, and felicity: "Come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord."
