Isaiah 2
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and
Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of
the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be
exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to
the mountain of the LORD, 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 the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many
people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into
pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the
LORD.
6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob,
because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the
Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any
end of their treasures; their land is also 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 boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself:
therefore forgive them not.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the
LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of
men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is
proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he 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 high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant
pictures.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the
haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in
that day.
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the
caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when
he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols
of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to
the bats;
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the
ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he
ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein
is he to be accounted of ?
