V'CHITETU CHARVOTAM (Hebrew) (From the Bible) V'chitetu charvotam l'itim Vachanitoteihem l'mazmerot Lo yisa goi el goi cherev V'lo yilm'du od milchama Yo yare'u v'lo yashchitu v'lo yashchitu

AND THEY SHALL BEAT THEIR SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES 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 anymore And they will do no evil, and they will do not wrong.

Hebrew lyrics:

וכיתתו חרבותם לאיתים וחניתותיהם למזמרות לא ישא גוי אל גוי חרב ולא ילמדו עוד מלחמה לא ירעו ולא ישחיתו ולא ישחיתו
