The word which
aIsaiah
the son
of Amoz
saw
concerning
Judah
and Jerusalem
.
Now it will come about that aIn the last
days
The bmountain
of the house
of the LORD
Will be established
1as the chief
of the mountains
, And will be raised
above
the hills
; And call
the nations
will stream
to it.
And many peoples
will come
and say
, "Come
, let us go
up to the mountain
of the LORD
, To the house
of the God
of Jacob
; That He may teach
us 1concerning
His ways
And that we may walk
in His paths
." For the 2law
will go
forth
afrom Zion
And the word
of the LORD
from Jerusalem
.
And He will judge between
the nations
, And will 1render
decisions
for many
peoples
; And athey will hammer
their swords
into plowshares
and their spears
into pruning
hooks
. bNation
will not lift
up sword
against
nation
, And never
again
will they learn
war
.
Come, ahouse
of Jacob
, and let us walk
in the blight
of the LORD
.
For You have aabandoned Your people
, the house
of Jacob
, Because
they are filled
with influences from the east
, And they are soothsayers
blike the Philistines
, And they cstrike
bargains with the children
of foreigners
.
Their land has also been filled
with silver
and gold
And there
is no
end
to their treasures
; Their land
has also been filled
with ahorses
And there
is no
end
to their chariots
.
Their land has also been afilled
with idols
; They worship
the bwork
of their hands
, That which
their fingers
have made
.
So athe common man has been
humbled
And the man
of importance has been
abased
, But bdo not forgive
them.
aEnter the rock
and hide
in the dust
bFrom the terror
of the LORD
and from the splendor
of His majesty
.
The 1 aproud look
of man
will be abased
And the bloftiness
of man
will be humbled
, And the LORD
alone
will be exalted
in that day
.
For the LORD of hosts
will have a day
of reckoning Against
aeveryone
who
is proud
and lofty
And against
everyone
who is lifted
up, That he may be abased
.
And it will be against all
the cedars
of Lebanon
that are lofty
and lifted
up, Against
all
the aoaks
of Bashan
,
Against all
the alofty
mountains
, Against
all
the hills
that are lifted
up,
Against every
ahigh
tower
, Against
every
fortified
wall
,
Against all
the aships
of Tarshish
And against
all
the beautiful
craft
.
The pride of man
will be humbled
And the loftiness
of men
will be abased
; And the LORD
alone
will be exalted
in that day
,
But the aidols will completely
vanish
.
Men will ago into caves
of the rocks
And into holes
of the 1ground
Before
the terror
of the LORD
And the splendor
of His majesty
, When He arises
bto make
the earth
tremble
.
In that day men
will acast
away
to the moles
and the bbats
Their idols
of silver
and their idols
of gold
, Which
they made
for themselves to worship
,
In order to ago into the caverns
of the rocks
and the clefts
of the cliffs
Before
the terror
of the LORD
and the splendor
of His majesty
, When He arises
to make
the earth
tremble
.
1 aStop regarding
man
, whose
breath
of life is in his nostrils
; For 2 bwhy
should he be esteemed
?
