In the future the mountain of the Lord's temple will endure as the most important of mountains, and will be the most prominent of hills. All the nations will stream to it,

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 he can teach us his requirements, and we can follow his standards." For Zion will be the center for moral instruction; the Lord will issue edicts from Jerusalem.

Therefore, listen to the Lord's word, you who mock, you rulers of these people who reside in Jerusalem!

For these are rebellious people -- they are lying children, children unwilling to obey the Lord's law.
