Isaiah Chapter 2 Back Next{2:1} This is what
Isaiah the son of
Amoz saw concerning
Judah and
Jerusalem.
{2:2} 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.
{2:3} 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 out of Zion the
law shall go forth, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
{2:4} 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.
{2:5} House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
{2:6} 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.
{2:7} 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.
{2:8} Their land also is full of
idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
{2:9} Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don't forgive them.
{2:10} Enter into the rock, and hide in the
dust, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty.
{2:11} The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the haughtiness of men will be bowed down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.
{2:12} For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and haughty, and for all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low:
{2:13} For all the
cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of
Bashan,
{2:14} For all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
{2:15} For every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
{2:16} For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
{2:17} The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
{2:18} The idols shall utterly pass away.
{2:19} 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.
{2:20} 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;
{2:21} 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.
{2:22} Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
