2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah
and Jerusalem.
2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the mount
of the LORD'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.
2:3 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.
2:4 And he will judge among the nations, and will rebuke many
people: and they shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and
their spears into pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
2:5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of
the LORD.
2:6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob,
because they are replenished from the east, and [are]
sooth-sayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves
in the children of strangers.
2:7 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:
2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of
their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
2:9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth
himself: therefore forgive them not.
2:10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of
the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
2:11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the
haughtiness of men shall be abased, and the LORD alone shall be
exalted in that day.
2:12 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:
2:13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, [that are] high and
lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
2:14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills
[that are] lifted up,
2:15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fortified wall,
2:16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant
pictures.
2:17 And the loftiness of man shall be abased, and the
haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall
be exalted in that day.
2:18 And the idols he will utterly abolish.
2:19 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.
2:20 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;
2:21 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.
2:22 Cease ye from man, whose breath [is] in his nostrils: for
wherein is he to be accounted of?
