ISAIAH 2



Is 2:1The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

Is 2:2 But in the last days / The mountain of the house of Jehovah will be established / On the top of the mountains; / And it will be lifted up above the hills; / And all the nations will stream to it,

Is 2:3 And many peoples will come and say, / Come and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, / To the house of the God of Jacob, / That He may instruct us in His ways, / And that we may walk in His paths. / For from Zion will go forth instruction, / And the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem;

Is 2:4 And He will judge between the nations, / And will decide matters for many peoples. / And they will beat their swords into plowshares, / And their spears into pruning knives; / Nation will not lift up sword against nation, / Nor will they learn war anymore.

Is 2:5 House of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.

Is 2:6 For You have abandoned Your people, / The house of Jacob; / Because they are full of customs from the east, / And they are soothsayers like the Philistines, / And they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.

Is 2:7 Their land is full of silver and gold, / And their treasures are limitless; / Their land is also full of horses, / And their chariots are limitless.

Is 2:8 And their land is full of idols; / They bow down to the work of their hands, / To that which their fingers have made.

Is 2:9 Thus the ordinary man is humbled, and the man of distinction is abased — / But do not forgive them.

Is 2:10 Enter into the rock, / And hide in the dust, / From the dread of Jehovah, / And from the splendor of His majesty.

Is 2:11 Man’s haughty look will be abased, / And the loftiness of men will be humbled; / But Jehovah alone will be exalted / In that day.

Is 2:12 For Jehovah of hosts will have a day / Over everything proud and lofty, / And over everything lifted up that it may be abased;

Is 2:13 Over all the cedars of Lebanon, / Which are lofty and lifted up, / And over all the oaks of Bashan;

Is 2:14 Over all the lofty mountains, / And over all the hills that are lifted up;

Is 2:15 Over every high tower, / And over every fortified wall;

Is 2:16 Over all the ships of Tarshish, / And over all their pleasant artifacts.

Is 2:17 And the haughtiness of the ordinary man will be humbled, / And the loftiness of the men of distinction will be abased; / But Jehovah alone will be exalted / In that day.

Is 2:18 And the idols will vanish completely.

Is 2:19 And men will go into caves in the rocks / And into holes in the dust, / From the dread of Jehovah, / And from the splendor of His majesty, / When He arises to make the earth tremble.

Is 2:20 In that day a man will cast / His idols of silver and his idols of gold, / Which they made for themselves to bow down to, / To the moles and to the bats,

Is 2:21 So that they may go into the crevices of the rocks / And into the clefts of the cliffs, / From the dread of Jehovah, / And from the splendor of His majesty, / When He arises to make the earth tremble.

Is 2:22 Stop regarding man, / Whose life breath is in his nostrils. / For of what value is he considered to be?
