# Chapter 2
|
|
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
|
|
2 It shall come to pass in the latter days
|
|
that the mountain of the house of the Lord
|
|
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
|
|
and shall be lifted up above the hills;
|
|
and all the nations shall flow to it,
|
|
3 and many peoples shall come, and say:
|
|
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
|
|
to the house of the God of Jacob,
|
|
that he may teach us his ways
|
|
and that we may walk in his paths.”
|
|
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
|
|
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
|
|
4 He shall judge between the nations,
|
|
and shall decide disputes for 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 anymore.
|
|
5 O house of Jacob,
|
|
come, let us walk
|
|
in the light of the Lord.
|
|
6 For you have rejected your people,
|
|
the house of Jacob,
|
|
because they are full of things from the east
|
|
and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines,
|
|
and they strike hands with the children of foreigners.
|
|
7 Their land is filled with silver and gold,
|
|
and there is no end to their treasures;
|
|
their land is filled with horses,
|
|
and there is no end to their chariots.
|
|
8 Their land is filled with idols;
|
|
they bow down to the work of their hands,
|
|
to what their own fingers have made.
|
|
9 So man is humbled,
|
|
and each one is brought low—
|
|
do not forgive them!
|
|
10 Enter into the rock
|
|
and hide in the dust
|
|
from before the terror of the Lord,
|
|
and from the splendor of his majesty.
|
|
11 The haughty looks of man shall be brought low,
|
|
and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled,
|
|
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
|
|
12 For the Lord of hosts has a day
|
|
against all that is proud and lofty,
|
|
against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low;
|
|
13 against all the cedars of Lebanon,
|
|
lofty and lifted up;
|
|
and against all the oaks of Bashan;
|
|
14 against all the lofty mountains,
|
|
and against all the uplifted hills;
|
|
15 against every high tower,
|
|
and against every fortified wall;
|
|
16 against all the ships of Tarshish,
|
|
and against all the beautiful craft.
|
|
17 And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,
|
|
and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low,
|
|
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
|
|
18 And the idols shall utterly pass away.
|
|
19 And people shall enter the caves of the rocks
|
|
and the holes of the ground,
|
|
from before the terror of the Lord,
|
|
and from the splendor of his majesty,
|
|
when he rises to terrify the earth.
|
|
20 In that day mankind will cast away
|
|
their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
|
|
which they made for themselves to worship,
|
|
to the moles and to the bats,
|
|
21 to enter the caverns of the rocks
|
|
and the clefts of the cliffs,
|
|
from before the terror of the Lord,
|
|
and from the splendor of his majesty,
|
|
when he rises to terrify the earth.
|
|
22 Stop regarding man
|
|
in whose nostrils is breath,
|
|
for of what account is he? |
