Isaiah 2

Revised Geneva Translation

2 The Word that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw upon Judah and Jerusalem.

² It shall be in the last days that the Mountain of the House of the LORD shall be prepared in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills. And all nations shall flow to it.

³ And many people shall go, and say, “Come, and let us go up to the Mountain of the LORD, to the House of the God of Jacob. And He will teach us His ways. And we will walk in His paths.” For the Law shall go forth from Zion, and the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

⁴ And He shall judge among the nations and rebuke many people. And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into scythes. Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, nor shall they learn to fight anymore.

⁵ O, House of Jacob, come and let us walk in the Law of the LORD.

⁶ Surely you have forsaken your people, the House of Jacob, because they are full of the East, and sorcerers as the Philistines, and abound with strange children.

⁷ Their land was also full of silver and gold. And there was no end of their treasures. And their land was full of horses, and their chariots infinite.

⁸ Their land was also full of idols. They worshipped the work of their own hands which their own fingers had made.

⁹ And a man bowed himself. And a man humbled himself. Therefore, do not spare them.

¹⁰ Enter into the rock and hide yourself in the dust from before the fear of the LORD, and from the Glory of His Majesty.

¹¹ The high look of man shall be humbled. And the loftiness of men shall be abased. And the LORD only shall be exalted on that day.

¹² For the day of the LORD of Hosts is upon all the proud and haughty, and upon all that is exalted. And it shall be made low.

¹³ Even upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and exalted, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

¹⁴ and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

¹⁵ and upon every high tower, and upon every strong wall,

¹⁶ and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

¹⁷ And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low. And the loftiness of men shall be abased. And the LORD alone shall be exalted on that day.

¹⁸ And He will utterly destroy the idols.

¹⁹ Then they shall go into the holes of the rocks and into the caves of the Earth from before the fear of the LORD, and from the Glory of His Majesty, when He shall arise to destroy the Earth.

²⁰ At that day, man shall cast away his silver idols and his golden idols (which they had made for themselves to worship them) to the moles and to the bats,

²¹ to go into the holes of the rocks and into the tops of the ragged rocks from before the fear of the LORD, and from the Glory of His Majesty, when He shall rise to destroy the Earth.

²² Cease from man, whose breath is in his nostrils. For of what account is he?
