Isaiah 2

1This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of Yahweh’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of Jehovah’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law shall go out of Zion, and Yahweh’s word from Jerusalem.And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem. 4Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.And he will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 5Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of Yahweh.O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah. 6For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.For thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of foreigners. 7Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:And their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots. 8Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made. 9So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled—do not forgive them!Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low: therefore forgive them not. 10Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty.Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty.Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty. 11The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day. 12For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted—it will be humbled—For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low—For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low; 13against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 14against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills,for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, 15against every high tower, against every fortified wall,for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified wall, 16against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel.for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant imagery. 17So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day. 18and the idols will vanish completely.The idols shall utterly pass away.And the idols he shall utterly abolish.And the idols shall utterly pass away. 19Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth. 20In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold—the idols they made to worship.In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver, and their idols of gold, which have been made for them to worship, to the moles and to the bats; 21They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth. 22Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?
