And an umpire of many | kingdoms a | far | off. Thy shall beat their swords into | plough-shares, But they shall sit every man | under his | vine, And none shall make them a | fraid: For the mouth of the a Lord hath | spoken it. Violence shall no more be heard in thy | land: Wasting nor destruction with | in thy borders. But thou shalt call thy walls, Sal | vation, And thy gates, Praise. The sun shall no more be thy | light by day, Nor shall the brightness of the moon by night en lighten thee. For the Lord shall be unto thee an ever | lasting | light, And thy God shall be thy | glory. Thy sun shall no | more go | down, Neither shall thy moon be | hid: For the Lord shall be thine ever lasting | light, MICAH IV. 1--4. ISAIAH LX. 18—20. (I1. 2—4:) 83.
