Isaiah:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The vision and prophetic message Isaiah ,
son of Amoz ,
saw about Judah and Jerusalem .
*
In the last days the mountain of the house of Jehovah will be established as the highest of the mountains and exalted above the hills .
All the nations will stream to it .
*
Then many people will come and say : »
Let us go to the mountain of Jehovah ,
to the House of the God of Jacob .
He will teach us his ways so that we may live by them .«
The law will go out from Zion .
The word of Jehovah will go out from Jerusalem .
*
Then he will judge disputes between nations and settle matters between many people .
They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks .
Nations will not fight against each other ,
and they will not learn war anymore .
*
Come ,
descendants of Jacob ,
let us live in the light of Jehovah .
*
Jehovah ,
you have abandoned your people ,
the descendants of Jacob ,
because they are filled with Eastern influences .
They practice witchcraft like the Philistines ,
and they make deals with foreigners .
*
Their land is full of silver and gold .
There is no limit to their treasures .
Their land is also full of horses .
There is no limit to their chariots .
*
Their land is full of idols .
They worship the work of their own hands ,
that which their own fingers have made .
*
Man has been humbled .
Everyman has been humiliated .
Do not forgive them .
*
Go in among the rocks and hide underground because of Jehovah
s terrifying presence and the magnificence of his majesty .
*
The arrogant people will be humbled .
High and mighty people will be brought down .
On that day Jehovah alone will be exalted .
*
All who are proud will be humbled .
Jehovah of Hosts will have his day against all who are arrogant and conceited .
*
It will also be against all the towering and mighty cedars of Lebanon and all the oaks of Bashan ,
*
against all the high mountains and all the lofty hills ,
*
against every high tower and every fortified wall ,
*
and also against all the large ships of Tarshish and all the beautiful boats .
*
Then arrogant people will be brought down .
High and mighty people will be humiliated .
On that day Jehovah alone will be honored .
*
Then idols will disappear completely .
*
People will go into caves in the rocks and into holes in the ground because of Jehovah
s terrifying presence and the honor of his majesty when he rises to shake the earth .
*
That day people will throw their silver and gold idols ,
that they made for themselves to worship ,
to the moles and the bats .
*
They will go into caves in the rocks and into cracks in the cliffs because of Jehovah
s terrifying presence and the honor of his majesty when he rises to shake the earth .
*
Stop trusting people ,
whose breath is in their nostrils .
How can they be worth anything ?
