Micah 4:3
Arabic Bible AVDDV 1999 (الكتاب المقدس (تخفيف تشكيل))
فيَقضي بَينَ شُعوبٍ كثيرينَ. يُنصِفُ لأُمَمٍ قَويَّةٍ بَعيدَةٍ، فيَطبَعونَ سُيوفهُم سِكَكًا، ورِماحَهُمْ مَناجِلَ. لا ترفَعُ أُمَّةٌ علَى أُمَّةٍ سيفًا، ولا يتَعَلَّمونَ الحَربَ في ما بَعدُ.
What Does This Mean?

Explained for Children
