# Chapter 2
|
|
1. The vision that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
|
|
|
|
2. In the last days
|
|
the mountain of
|
|
the Lord's house will be established
|
|
at the top of the mountains
|
|
and will be raised above the hills.
|
|
All nations will stream to it,
|
|
|
|
3. and many peoples will come and say,
|
|
"Come, let's go up to
|
|
the mountain of
|
|
the Lord,
|
|
to the house of the God of Jacob.
|
|
|
|
He will teach us about his ways
|
|
so that we may walk in his paths."
|
|
For instruction will go out of Zion
|
|
and the word of
|
|
the Lord from Jerusalem.
|
|
|
|
4. He will settle disputes among the nations
|
|
and provide arbitration for many peoples.
|
|
|
|
They will beat their swords into plows
|
|
and their spears into pruning knives.
|
|
Nation will not take up the sword against nation,
|
|
and they will never again train for war.
|
|
|
|
The Day of
|
|
the Lord
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. House of Jacob,
|
|
come and let's walk in
|
|
the Lord's light.
|
|
|
|
6. For you have abandoned your people,
|
|
the house of Jacob,
|
|
because they are full of divination from the East
|
|
and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines.
|
|
They are in league with foreigners.
|
|
|
|
7. Their land is full of silver and gold,
|
|
and there is no limit to their treasures;
|
|
their land is full of horses,
|
|
and there is no limit to their chariots.
|
|
|
|
8. Their land is full of worthless idols;
|
|
they worship the work of their hands,
|
|
what their fingers have made.
|
|
|
|
9. So humanity is brought low,
|
|
and each person is humbled.
|
|
Do not forgive them!
|
|
|
|
10. Go into the rocks
|
|
and hide in the dust
|
|
from the terror of
|
|
the Lord
|
|
and from his majestic splendor.
|
|
|
|
11. The pride of mankind will be humbled,
|
|
and human loftiness will be brought low;
|
|
the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.
|
|
|
|
12. For a day belonging to
|
|
the Lord of Armies is coming
|
|
against all that is proud and lofty,
|
|
against all that is lifted up--it will be humbled--
|
|
|
|
13. against all the cedars of Lebanon,
|
|
lofty and lifted up,
|
|
against all the oaks of Bashan,
|
|
|
|
14. against all the high mountains,
|
|
against all the lofty hills,
|
|
|
|
15. against every high tower,
|
|
against every fortified wall,
|
|
|
|
16. against every ship of Tarshish,
|
|
and against every splendid sea vessel.
|
|
|
|
17. The pride of mankind will be brought low,
|
|
and human loftiness will be humbled;
|
|
the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.
|
|
|
|
18. The worthless idols will vanish completely.
|
|
|
|
19. People will go into caves in the rocks
|
|
and holes in the ground,
|
|
away
|
|
from the terror of
|
|
the Lord
|
|
and from his majestic splendor,
|
|
when he rises to terrify the earth.
|
|
|
|
20. On that day people will throw
|
|
their worthless idols of silver and gold,
|
|
which they made to worship,
|
|
to the moles and the bats.
|
|
|
|
21. They will go into the caves of the rocks
|
|
and the crevices in the cliffs,
|
|
away
|
|
from the terror of
|
|
the Lord
|
|
and from his majestic splendor,
|
|
when he rises to terrify the earth.
|
|
|
|
22. Put no more trust in a mere human,
|
|
who has only the breath in his nostrils.
|
|
What is he really worth?
|
