Isa 1:2, Isa 2 | ESV | STEP | Hear , O heavens , and give ear , O earth ; for the Lord has spoken : Children have I reared and brought up , but they have rebelled against me.

Isaiah 1:2

The Wickedness of Judah

2 ^aHear, O heavens, and give ear, O ^bearth;
for the Lord has spoken:
“Children ^{▼▼Or Sons; also verse 4} ^dhave I reared and brought up,
but they have rebelled against me.

Isaiah 2

The Mountain of the Lord

1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2 ^eIt shall come to pass in the latter days
that ^fthe 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 ^gall the nations shall flow to it,
3 and ^hmany 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 ⁱout of Zion shall go forth the law, ^{▼▼Or teaching}
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 He shall judge between the nations,
and shall decide disputes for many peoples;
^kand they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
^lnation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore.
5 O house of Jacob,
come, let us walk
in ^mthe light of the Lord.

The Day of the Lord

6 For you have rejected your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are full of things ⁿfrom the east
and ^oof fortune-tellers ^plike the Philistines,
and they ^qstrike hands with the children of foreigners.
7 Their land is ^rfilled with silver and gold,
and there is no end to their treasures;
their land is ^sfilled with horses,
and there is no end to their chariots.
8 Their land is ^tfilled with idols;
they bow down to ^uthe work of their hands,
to what their own fingers have made.
9 So man ^vis humbled,
and each one ^wis brought low—
do not forgive them!
10 ^xEnter into the rock
and hide in the dust
^yfrom before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty.
11 ^zThe 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 ^aaFor 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;
13 against all the ^abcedars of Lebanon,
lofty and lifted up;
and against all the ^acoaks of Bashan;
14 against all ^adthe lofty mountains,
and against all the uplifted hills;
15 against every high tower,
and against every fortified wall;
16 against all ^aethe ships of Tarshish,
and against all the beautiful craft.
17 ^afAnd 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 ^agAnd the idols shall utterly pass away.
19 ^ahAnd people shall enter the caves of the rocks
and the holes of the ground, ^{▼▼Hebrew dust}
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
^ajwhen he rises to terrify the earth.
20 In that day ^akmankind 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 ^albats,
21 ^amto 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,
^anwhen he rises to terrify the earth.
22 ^aoStop regarding man
^apin whose nostrils is breath,
for of what account is he?
