1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem . 2And 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. 3And 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 . 4And 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. 5O house of Jacob , come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD .
The Mountain of the Lord
6Therefore 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 . 7Their 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 : 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 boweth down , and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. 10Enter into the rock , and hide thee in the dust , for fear of the LORD , and for the glory of his majesty . 11The 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 .
Judgment on the Proud
12For 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 : 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 high tower , and upon every fenced wall , 16And upon all the ships of Tarshish , and upon all pleasant pictures . 17And 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 .
The Idols of the Nations
18And the idols he shall utterly abolish . 19And 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 . 20In 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 ; 21To 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 . 22Cease ye from man , whose breath is in his nostrils : for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
