Isaiah 2:6–11

For you have rejected your people,

the house of Jacob,

because they are full of things from the east

and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines,

and they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

Their land is filled with silver and gold,

and there is no end to their treasures;

their land is filled with horses,

and there is no end to their chariots.

Their land is filled with idols;

they bow down to the work of their hands,

to what their own fingers have made.

So man is humbled,

and each one is brought low—

do not forgive them!

Enter into the rock

and hide in the dust

from before the terror of the Lord,

and from the splendor of his majesty.

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.

You, Lord, have abandoned your people,

the descendants of Jacob.

They are full of superstitions from the East;

they practice divination like the Philistines

and embrace pagan customs.

Their land is full of silver and gold;

there is no end to their treasures.

Their land is full of horses;

there is no end to their chariots.

Their land is full of idols;

they bow down to the work of their hands,

to what their fingers have made.

So people will be brought low

and everyone humbled—

do not forgive them.

Go into the rocks, hide in the ground

from the fearful presence of the Lord

and the splendor of his majesty!

The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled

and human pride brought low;

the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

For you have abandoned your people,

the house of Jacob,

because they are full of divination from the East

and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines.

They are in league with foreigners.

Their land is full of silver and gold,

and there is no limit to their treasures;

their land is full of horses,

and there is no limit to their chariots.

Their land is full of worthless idols;

they worship the work of their hands,

what their fingers have made.

So humanity is brought low,

and each person is humbled.

Do not forgive them!

Go into the rocks

and hide in the dust

from the terror of the Lord

and from his majestic splendor.

The pride of mankind will be humbled,

and human loftiness will be brought low;

the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.

For the Lord has rejected his people,

the descendants of Jacob,

because they have filled their land with practices from the East

and with sorcerers, as the Philistines do.

They have made alliances with pagans.

Israel is full of silver and gold;

there is no end to its treasures.

Their land is full of warhorses;

there is no end to its chariots.

Their land is full of idols;

the people worship things they have made

with their own hands.

So now they will be humbled,

and all will be brought low—

do not forgive them.

Crawl into caves in the rocks.

Hide in the dust

from the terror of the Lord

and the glory of his majesty.

Human pride will be brought down,

and human arrogance will be humbled.

Only the Lord will be exalted

on that day of judgment.

For you have forsaken your people, house of Jacob,

because they are full from the east,

and of soothsayers like the Philistines,

and they make alliances with the offspring of foreigners.

And its land is filled with silver and gold,

and there is no end to its treasures;

and its land is filled with horses,

and there is no end to its chariots.

Its land is filled with idols;

they bow down to the work of their hands,

to what they made with their fingers.

So humanity is humbled;

everyone is humbled,

and you must not forgive them.

Enter into the rock

and hide yourself in the dust

from the presence of the terror of Yahweh

and from the glory of his majesty.

The haughty eyes of humanity will be brought low,

and the pride of everyone will be humbled,

and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.

Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob,

Because they be replenished from the east,

And are soothsayers like the Philistines,

And they please themselves in the children of strangers.

Their land also is full of silver and gold,

Neither is there any end of their treasures;

Their land is also full of horses,

Neither is there any end of their chariots:

Their land also is full of idols;

They worship the work of their own hands,

That which their own fingers have made:

And the mean man boweth down,

And the great man humbleth himself:

Therefore forgive them not.

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust,

For fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty.

The lofty looks of man shall be humbled,

And the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,

And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
