'Nations' in the Bible

Many nations will go and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion will go forth the law, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem;

and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more.

Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God forever and ever.

Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion."

The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.

I will execute vengeance in anger, and wrath on the nations that didn't listen."

The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. Their ears will be deaf.
