CHAPTER 2
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 L
ORD
’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 L
ORD
, 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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
.
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 L
ORD
, 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 L
ORD
alone shall be exalted in that day.
12
For the day of the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
, 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 L
ORD
, 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?
CHAPTER 3
For, behold, the Lord, the L
ORD
of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay
and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
2
The mighty man, and the man
