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 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 ?
