But neither of those tools were known to the Aztec, whose metallurgy never developed to ironworking and whose agricultural model used lakes. So, this is how we imagined the idiom to have gone....

'And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the lake of the feathered serpent, to the house of the god of Cē Ācatl Topiltzin; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Teotihuacan shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Tenochtitlan. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall hammer their maquahuitl into the lakebed to make chināmitl, and their tepoztopilli into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up ahtlatl against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.' - Montezuma 2:3

It's literally just a section from the Bible with words replaced with Teotl deities and Aztec weapons & names :)
