Isaiah 2
2
The Mountain of the Lord
1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 # For ver. 2-4, see Mic. 4:1-3 It shall come to pass in the latter days
that #ch. 14:13; 25:6 the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and shall be lifted up above the hills;
and #[ch. 56:7]all the nations shall flow to it,
3and #See Zech. 8:20-23 many peoples shall 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 his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For #[Luke 24:47; John 4:22]out of Zion shall go forth the law,#2:3 Or teaching
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4He shall judge between the nations,
and shall decide disputes for many peoples;
# [Joel 3:10] and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
# ch. 9:7; Ps. 72:3, 7; Hos. 2:18; Zech. 9:10 nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore.
5O house of Jacob,
come, let us walk
in #ch. 60:1, 2; [Eph. 5:8]the light of the Lord.
The Day of the Lord
6For you have rejected your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are full of things #[2 Kgs. 16:10, 11] from the east
and #Mic. 5:12 of fortune-tellers #2 Kgs. 1:2 like the Philistines,
and they #[2 Kgs. 16:7, 8]strike hands with the children of foreigners.
7Their land is #ch. 39:2; [ch. 22:8, 11; Deut. 17:17] filled with silver and gold,
and there is no end to their treasures;
their land is #ch. 30:16; [Deut. 17:16; Mic. 5:10]filled with horses,
and there is no end to their chariots.
8Their land is #ver. 18, 20; ch. 10:10, 11; Jer. 2:28 filled with idols;
they bow down to #See ch. 44:9-17the work of their hands,
to what their own fingers have made.
9So man #ch. 5:15is humbled,
and each one #ch. 5:15is brought low—
do not forgive them!
10 # ver. 19, 21; [Rev. 6:15, 16] Enter into the rock
and hide in the dust
# Cited 2 Thess. 1:9 from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty.
11 # ver. 17; Ps. 18:27; [Mic. 2:3; 2 Cor. 10:5] The haughty looks of man shall be brought low,
and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
12 # [Job 40:11, 12; Mal. 4:1] For the Lord of hosts has a day
against all that is proud and lofty,
against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low;
13against all the #ch. 14:8; See Judg. 9:15 cedars of Lebanon,
lofty and lifted up;
and against all the #Ezek. 27:6; Zech. 11:2oaks of Bashan;
14against all #[ch. 30:25]the lofty mountains,
and against all the uplifted hills;
15against every high tower,
and against every fortified wall;
16against all #ch. 60:9; 1 Kgs. 10:22the ships of Tarshish,
and against all the beautiful craft.
17 #
Ps. 18:27; [Mic. 2:3; 2 Cor. 10:5] And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,
and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
18 # ver. 8 And the idols shall utterly pass away.
19 # ver. 10; Hos. 10:8; Luke 23:30; Rev. 6:16 And people shall enter the caves of the rocks
and the holes of the ground,#2:19 Hebrew dust
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
# [Ps. 76:8, 9; Hab. 3:6] when he rises to terrify the earth.
20In that day #ch. 30:22; 31:7 mankind will cast away
their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
which they made for themselves to worship,
to the moles and to the #Lev. 11:19; Deut. 14:18bats,
21 # [See ver. 19 above] to enter the caverns of the rocks
and the clefts of the cliffs,
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
# [See ver. 19 above] when he rises to terrify the earth.
22 #
Ps. 146:3 Stop regarding man
#
Job 27:3; [James 4:14] in whose nostrils is breath,
for of what account is he?

Isaiah 2
2
God’s Universal Reign
1The word [from God] which Isaiah son of Amoz saw [in a vision] concerning [the nation of] Judah and [its capital city] Jerusalem.
2Now it will come to pass that
In the last days
The mountain of the house of the Lord
Will be [firmly] established as the #Or chief; lit head.highest of the mountains,
And will be exalted above the hills;
And all the nations will stream to it.
3And many peoples shall come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house (temple) of the God of Jacob;
That He may teach us His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For the law will go out from Zion
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4And He will judge between the nations,
And will mediate [disputes] for many peoples;
And they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not lift up the sword against nation,
And never again will they learn war.
5O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.
6Most certainly [Lord] You have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled with influences from the east,
And they are soothsayers [who foretell] like the Philistines;
Also they strike bargains with the children of foreigners (pagans).
7Their land has also been filled with silver and gold
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land has also been filled with horses
And there is no end to their chariots.
8Their land has also been filled with idols;
They worship the work of their hands,
That which their own fingers have made.
9So the common man has been humbled [before idols]
And the man of importance has been degraded,
Therefore do not forgive them [O Lord].
10Go among the rocks and hide in the dust
From the terror of the Lord and from the splendor of His majesty.
11The proud look of man will be degraded
And the arrogance of men will be humbled,
And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
A Day of Reckoning Coming
12For the Lord of hosts will have a day of reckoning
Against all who are proud and arrogant
And against all who are lifted up,
That they may be degraded.
13And the wrath of God will be against all the cedars of Lebanon [west of the Jordan] that are high and lifted up,
Against all the oaks of Bashan [east of the Jordan],
14Against all the high mountains,
Against all the hills that are lifted up,
15Against every high tower,
Against every fortified wall,
16Against all the ships of Tarshish
And against all the beautiful craft.
17Then the pride of man will be humbled
And the arrogance of men will be degraded;
The Lord alone shall be exalted in that day,
18And the idols will completely vanish (be abolished).
19They [the stricken, deprived of all in which they had trusted] will go into the caves of the rocks
And into the holes of the ground [fleeing]
From the terror and dread of the Lord
And from the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to terrify the earth.
20In that day men will throw away to the moles and to the bats
Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
Which they made for themselves [as objects] to worship,
21To go into the caverns of the rocks and into the clefts of the [ragged] cliffs [as they flee]
From the terror and dread of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to terrify the earth.
22Stop regarding man, whose breath [of life] is in his nostrils [for so little time];
For why should he be esteemed?
