Isaiah 2

CHAPTER 2 The Word Concerning the Last Days

1 The word coming to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judea, and concerning Jerusalem. 2 For it will be in the last days [⁴will be apparent ¹the ²mountain ³of the lord], and the house of God will be upon the uppermost part of the mountains, and it shall be raised up high above the hills; and [⁴shall come ⁵unto ⁶it ¹all ²the ³nations]. 3 And [³shall go ²nations ¹many] and shall say, Come, for we should ascend unto the mountain of the lord, and unto the house of the God of Jacob; and he will announce to us his way; and we shall go in it. For from out of Zion shall come forth law, and the word of the lord from out of Jerusalem. 4 And he shall judge in the midst of the nations; and he shall completely refute [²people ¹many]. And they shall cut down their swords into plows, and their pikes into sickles. And [²shall not ³take ¹a nation ⁵against ⁶a nation ⁴a sword], and in no way should they learn yet to wage war.

The Day of The LORD

5 And now, O house of Jacob, come and we should go to the light of the lord. 6 For he forsook his people, the house of Jacob; for [²was filled up ³as ⁴from ⁵the beginning ¹their place] of ones prognosticating, as that of the Philistines; and [³children ¹many ²Philistine] were born to them. 7 For they filled up their place with silver and gold, and there was no limit to the number of their treasures; and they filled up the land with horses, and there was no limit to the number of their chariots. 8 And they filled up the land with the abominations of the works of their hands; and they did obeisance to the ones which they made by their fingers. 9 And [²bowed ¹people], and [²was abased ¹each man]; and in no way will I spare them. 10 And now, enter to the rock, and hide in the earth from in front of the fear of the lord, and from the glory of his strength, whenever he should rise up to devastate the earth! 11 For the eyes of the lord are high, but man is low; and [⁴shall be abased ¹the ²height ³of men], and [³shall be raised up high ¹the lord ²alone] in that day. 12 For the day of the lord of Hosts is upon every one insulting and proud; and upon every one high and elevated -- and they shall be abased; 13 and upon every cedar of Lebanon, of the ones high and elevated; and upon every [²tree ¹acorn] of Bashan; 14 and upon every high mountain; and upon every [²hill ¹high]; 15 and upon every [²tower ¹high]; and upon every [²wall ¹high]; 16 and upon every boat of the sea; and upon every spectacle of boats of beauty. 17 And [³shall be abased ¹every ²man]; and [⁴shall fall ¹the ²haughtiness ³of men]; and [³shall be raised up high ¹the lord ²alone] in that day. 18 And [³the things ⁴made by hand ²all ¹they shall hide], 19 carrying them into the caves, and into the fissures of the rocks, and into the burrows of the earth, from in front of the fear of the lord, and from the glory of his strength, whenever he should rise up to devastate the earth. 20 For that day [²will cast out ¹a man] his abominations, the things made of silver and gold which they made to do obeisance to the vain things, and to the bats, 21 to enter into the burrows of the solid rock, and the fissures of the rocks, from in front of the fear of the lord, and from the glory of his strength, whenever he should rise up to devastate the earth. 22 Cease yourself from the man breathing by his nostril; for by what is he considered?
