Isaiah:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem .
*
It shall happen in the latter days ,
that the mountain of Yahweh '
s house shall be established on the top of the mountains ,
and shall be raised above the hills ;
and all nations shall flow to it .
*
Many peoples shall go and say , "
Come ,
let '
s go up to the mountain of Yahweh ,
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 the law shall go forth ,
and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem .
*
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 .
*
House of Jacob ,
come ,
and let us walk in the light of Yahweh .
*
For you have forsaken your people ,
the house of Jacob ,
because they are filled from the east ,
with those who practice divination like the Philistines ,
and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners .
*
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 .
*
Their land also is full of idols .
They worship the work of their own hands ,
that which their own fingers have made .
*
Man is brought low ,
and mankind is humbled ;
therefore don '
t forgive them .
*
Enter into the rock ,
and hide in the dust ,
from before the terror of Yahweh ,
and from the glory of his majesty .
*
The lofty looks of man will be brought low ,
the haughtiness of men will be bowed down ,
and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day .
*
For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and haughty ,
and for all that is lifted up ;
and it shall be brought low :
*
For all the cedars of Lebanon ,
that are high and lifted up ,
for all the oaks of Bashan ,
*
For all the high mountains ,
for all the hills that are lifted up ,
*
For every lofty tower ,
for every fortified wall ,
*
For all the ships of Tarshish ,
and for all pleasant imagery .
*
The loftiness of man shall be bowed down ,
and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low ;
and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day .
*
The idols shall utterly pass away .
*
Men shall go into the caves of the rocks ,
and into the holes of the earth ,
from before the terror of Yahweh ,
and from the glory of his majesty ,
when he arises to shake the earth mightily .
*
In that day ,
men shall cast away their idols of silver ,
and their idols of gold ,
which have been made for themselves to worship ,
to the moles and to the bats ;
*
To go into the caverns of the rocks ,
and into the clefts of the ragged rocks ,
from before the terror of Yahweh ,
and from the glory of his majesty ,
when he arises to shake the earth mightily .
*
Stop trusting in man ,
whose breath is in his nostrils ;
for of what account is he ?
