| Chapter 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
? |
