Isaiah 2
2
1The word which Isaiah, son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
Torah From Jerusalem
2It will come to pass in the last days that the mountain of Adonai’s House will stand firm as head of the mountains and will be exalted above the hills. So all nations will flow to it.
3Then many peoples will go and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Adonai, to the House of the God of Jacob! Then He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths.” For Torah will go forth from Zion and the word of Adonai from Jerusalem.
4He will judge between the nations and decide for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning knives. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war any more.
5Come house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of Adonai.
6For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob. For they are filled with soothsayers from the east, and they have clapped hands with the children of foreigners.
7Their land also is full of silver and gold, nor is there any limit to their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, nor is there any limit to their chariots.
8Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their hands, what their own fingers have made.
9So humanity bows down as each one lowers himself. Pardon them not!
10Enter into the rock and hide in the dust, for fear of Adonai, and the glory of His majesty.
Lofty Ones Brought Low
11The man of haughty eyes is humbled, the lofty ones brought low, for Adonai alone will be exalted in that day.
12For the day of Adonai-Tzva’ot will be against anyone proud and haughty, against anyone lifted up—he will be humbled,
13against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,
14against all the high mountains, against all the exalted hills,
15against every high tower, against every fortified wall,
16against all the Tarshish ships, and against all the luxury boats.
17The pride of man will be humbled, the arrogance of men abased, for Adonai alone will be exalted in that day.
18The idols will completely pass away.
19People will go into the caves of the rocks and into the holes of the earth, because of the fear of Adonai and the splendor of His majesty, when He arises to shake the earth.
20In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which they made to worship, to the moles and to the bats!
21They go into the clefts of the rocks and the crevices of the crags, because of fear of Adonai and the splendor of His majesty, when He arises to shake the earth.
22Stop trusting in mankind —whose breath is in his nose— for what is he really worth?

Isaiah 2
2
The City of Peace
1The vision that Isaiah#2Kg 19:2; 20:1; 2Ch 26:22; 32:20; Is 1:1; 13:1 son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2In#Mc 4:1–4; Rm 2:20 the last days#Nm 24:14; Dt 4:30; Ezk 38:16; Hs 3:5
the mountain of the Lord’s house#2Ch 33:15; Is 27:13; 66:20 will be established
at the top of the mountains
and will be raised above the hills.
All nations will stream to it,#Ps 22:27; Is 56:7; Zch 14:10
3and many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob.#Is 29:23; 45:23; 60:13; 66:18
He will teach us about his ways
so that we may walk in his paths.”
For instruction will go out of Zion
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4He will settle disputes among the nations
and provide arbitration for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plows
and their spears into pruning knives.#Is 11:6–9; 32:17–18; Jl 3:10
Nation will not take up the sword against nation,
and they will never again train for war.#Ps 72:3,7; Is 9:7; Hs 2:18; Zch 9:10
The Day of the Lord
5House of Jacob,
come and let’s walk in the Lord’s light.#Ps 27:1; 43:3
6For you have abandoned#Dt 31:17; Ps 94:14; Is 1:4 your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are full of divination from the East
and of fortune-tellers#Lv 19:26; Dt 18:10–14; 2Kg 21:6; 2Ch 33:6; Jr 27:9; Mc 5:12 like the Philistines.#Jdg 14:3; 1Sm 6:2; 2Kg 1:2–6
They are in league#2:6 Or They teem, or They partner; Hb obscure with foreigners.
7Their#2:7 Lit Its#2:7 = the house of Jacob land is full of silver and gold,
and there is no limit to their treasures;
their land is full of horses,
and there is no limit to their chariots.#Dt 17:17
8Their land is full of worthless idols;#Is 10:10–11; 19:1–3; 31:7; Jr 2:28
they worship the work of their hands,
what their fingers have made.#Is 41:21–29; 44:9–17
9So humanity is brought low,
and each person is humbled.
Do not forgive them!#Ex 34:7
10Go into the rocks#Rv 6:15
and hide in the dust
from the terror of the Lord#1Sm 11:7; 2Ch 14:14; 17:10; 19:7; Is 2:19,21
and from his majestic splendor.#2Th 1:9
11The pride of mankind#2:11 Lit Mankind’s proud eyes will be humbled,#Ps 18:27; Is 2:17; Mc 2:3; 2Co 10:5
and human loftiness will be brought low;
the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.
12For a day belonging to the Lord of Armies is coming
against all that is proud and lofty,#Mal 4:1
against all that is lifted up — it will be humbled —
13against all the cedars of Lebanon,#Ps 29:5; Is 14:8; Hs 14:5
lofty and lifted up,
against all the oaks of Bashan,#Ezk 27:6; Zch 11:2
14against all the high mountains,#Is 40:4
against all the lofty hills,
15against every high tower,#Is 25:12; Zph 1:16
against every fortified wall,
16against every ship of Tarshish,#1Kg 10:22; Is 23:1,14; 60:9
and against every splendid sea vessel.
17The pride of mankind will be brought low,
and human loftiness will be humbled;
the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.#Mt 25:13
18The worthless idols will vanish completely.
19People will go into caves in the rocks#Is 2:10
and holes in the ground,
away from the terror of the Lord
and from his majestic splendor,
when he rises to terrify the earth.#Ps 18:7; Is 13:13; 24:1,19–20; Hg 2:6–7; Heb 12:26
20On that day people will throw
their worthless idols of silver and gold,#Is 30:22; 31:7
which they made to worship,
to the moles and the bats.
21They will go into the caves of the rocks
and the crevices in the cliffs,
away from the terror of the Lord
and from his majestic splendor,#Is 2:10
when he rises to terrify the earth.
22Put no more trust in a mere human,
who has only the breath in his nostrils.#Ps 39:11; 144:4; 146:3; Jr 17:5; Jms 4:14
What is he really worth?
