Isaiah 2:4, lines 2 and 3:
wa-kittetu harbotâm le-ittîm wa-hamîtôtêhem le-mazmerôt
lô-yissâ goy el-goy hereb we-lô-yilmedu 'ôd milkhâmâh
[approximate transliteration from the Biblia Hebraica]
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more (KJV)
Unfortunately my browser has no facilities for a correct scientific transliteration but I think the simplified lines above will do.
Sing and enjoy
