Context of Isaiah 60:18

16Other nations and their kings will give you everything that you need. They will be like mothers who feed their babies with their milk. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have made you safe. You will know that I am your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. 17I will bring you gold instead of bronze. I will bring you silver instead of iron. I will give you bronze to use, instead of wood. I will give you iron instead of stones. I will cause peace to be your city's leader. Righteousness will rule over you. You will not hear the noise of violence in your land any more. Inside its borders, nobody will fight wars or destroy things. You will call your city's walls ‘Salvation’, and you will call your city's gates ‘Praise’. 19You will no longer need the sun to give you light in the day again. You will not need the moon to shine at night. Instead, the Lord will be the light that shines on you for ever. Yes, your God will be the light that brings you honour. 20Your sun will never go down again and your moon will never disappear. That is because the Lord will be the light that shines on you for ever. Then your sad days will come to an end.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 18Violence shall no more be heard in thy land - This is a most beautiful description of the peace and prosperity which would prevail in the times of the Messiah. If the gospel, in its purity, should prevail on earth, there would be no more scenes of violence and war. The battle-shout would be heard no more; the cry of violence, the clangor of arms would resound no more.
