1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem . 2And it shall come to pass in the latter days , that the mountain of Jehovah ’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains , and shall be exalted above the hills ; and all nations shall flow unto it . 3And many peoples shall go and say , Come ye , and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah , 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 Jehovah from Jerusalem . 4And he will judge between the nations , and will decide concerning many peoples ; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation , neither shall they learn war any more . 5O house of Jacob , come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah .
The Mountain of the Lord
6For thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob , because they are filled with customs from the east , and are soothsayers like the Philistines , and they strike hands with the children of foreigners . 7And their land is full of silver and gold , neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is full of horses , neither is there any end of their chariots . 8Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands , that which their own fingers have made . 9And the mean man is bowed down , and the great man is brought low : therefore forgive them not . 10Enter into the rock , and hide thee in the dust , from before the terror of Jehovah , and from the glory of his majesty . 11The lofty looks of man shall be brought low , and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down , and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day .
Judgment on the Proud
12For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty , and upon all that is lifted up ; and it shall be brought low ; 13and upon all the cedars of Lebanon , that are high and lifted up , and upon all the oaks of Bashan , 14and upon all the high mountains , and upon all the hills that are lifted up , 15and upon every lofty tower , and upon every fortified wall , 16and upon all the ships of Tarshish , and upon all pleasant imagery. 17And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down , and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low ; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day .
The Idols of the Nations
18And the idols shall utterly pass away . 19And men shall go into the caves of the rocks , and into the holes of the earth , from before the terror of Jehovah , and from the glory of his majesty , when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth . 20In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver , and their idols of gold , which have been made for them to worship , to the moles and to the bats ; 21to go into the caverns of the rocks , and into the clefts of the ragged rocks , from before the terror of Jehovah , and from the glory of his majesty , when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth. 22Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
