Isaiah 2
Literal Standard Version Par ▾ 
1The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

2And it has come to pass, "" In the latter end of the days, "" The mountain of YHWH’s house is established, "" Above the top of the mountains, "" And it has been lifted up above the heights, "" And all the nations have flowed to it.

3And many peoples have gone and said, “Come, and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, "" To the house of the God of Jacob, "" And He teaches us of His ways, "" And we walk in His paths, "" For a law goes forth from Zion, "" And a word of YHWH from Jerusalem.

4And He has judged between the nations, "" And has given a decision to many peoples, "" And they have beat their swords to plowshares, "" And their spears to pruning-hooks, "" Nation does not lift up sword to nation, "" Nor do they learn anymore—war.

5O house of Jacob, come, "" And we walk in the light of YHWH.”

6For You have left Your people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, "" And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, "" And strike hands with the children of strangers.

7And its land is full of silver and gold, "" And there is no end to its treasures, "" And its land is full of horses, "" And there is no end to its chariots,

8And its land is full of idols, "" It bows itself to the work of its hands, "" To that which its fingers have made,

9And the low bows down, and the high is humbled, "" And You do not accept them.

10Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, "" Because of the fear of YHWH, "" And because of the honor of His excellence.

11The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, "" And the loftiness of men has been bowed down, "" And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.

12For a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, "" For every proud and high one, "" And for every lifted up and low one,

13And for all cedars of Lebanon, "" The high and the exalted ones, "" And for all oaks of Bashan,

14And for all the high mountains, "" And for all the exalted heights,

15And for every high tower, "" And for every fortified wall,

16And for all ships of Tarshish, "" And for all desirable pictures.

17And the haughtiness of man has been bowed down, "" And the loftiness of men humbled, "" And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.

18And the idols—they completely pass away.

19And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, "" And into caves of dust, "" Because of the fear of YHWH, "" And because of the honor of His excellence, "" In His rising to terrify the earth.

20In that day man casts his idols of silver, "" And his idols of gold, "" That they have made for him to worship, "" To moles, and to bats,

21To enter into cavities of the rocks, "" And into clefts of the high places, "" Because of the fear of YHWH, "" And because of the honor of His excellence, "" In His rising to terrify the earth.

22Cease yourselves from man, "" Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, "" For—in what is he esteemed?
