“Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.”
The ironic command to beat plowshares into swords and pruning hooks into spears indicates the reversal of the conditions of peace—all implements of agricultural production become instruments of warfare. The call to let the weak say "I am a warrior" indicates the universal mobilization. This verse emphasizes the totality of the war that the nations will face.
