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?
