<< Isaiah 2:3   Isaiah 2:5 >>


Isaiah 2:4

Neither shall they learn war any more - If wars are necessary, how deep must that fall be that renders them so! But what a reproach to humanity is the trade of war! Men are regularly instructed in it, as in any of the necessary arts.

"How to dislodge most souls from their frail shrines

By bomb, sword, ball, and bayonet, is the art

Which some call great and glorious!"

\ri720 And is this a necessary part of a finished education in civilized society? O Earth! Earth! Earth!
