Isa 2
1
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2
And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of YHWH`s house shall
be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills;
and all nations shall flow to it.
3
And many peoples shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of YHWH,
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 YHWH from Jerusalem.
4
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.
5
O house of Jacob, come you, and let us walk in the light of YHWH.
6
For you have forsaken your 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.
7
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.
8
Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which
their own fingers have made.
9
And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low: therefore forgive
them not.
10
Enter into the rock, and hide you in the dust, from before the terror of YHWH, and
from the glory of his majesty.
11
The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed
down, and YHWH alone shall be exalted in that day.
12
For there shall be a day of YHWH of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and
upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low;
13
and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the
oaks of Bashan,
14
and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15
and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified wall,
16
and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant imagery.
17
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be
brought low; and YHWH alone shall be exalted in that day.
18
And the idols shall utterly pass away.
19
And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from
before the terror of YHWH, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake
mightily the earth.
20
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;
21
to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from
before the terror of YHWH, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake
mightily the earth.
22
Cease you from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted
of?
