Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
Prophecy
This chapter appears to prophesy about a time of restoration when the messiah will reign. It pictures a time of great peace and harmony in the world. The translator does not need to add an explanation, but should try to maintain the tense of the original text, as a future or uncompleted action. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/restore, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/fulfill)
