This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Beat your ploughshares into swords: here is a prediction of war, and such as should continue, with some intermissions, through many years; as, on the contrary, when swords were to be beaten into ploughshares, and spears into pruning-hooks, it was a prediction of peace, Isa_2:4: lay aside your husbandry in ploughing and sowing.



And your pruning-hooks into spears; and let gardeners, vinedressers, and planters think of getting spears instead of pruning-hooks.



Let the weak, either of body, through sickness or natural weakness, or else weak of mind, fearful and cowardly, say,



I am strong: put on strength and valour greater than he hath, let none be absent from this war.
