Isaiah 2

The word that ^aIsaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

^2aaAnd it shall come to pass ^bin the last days,

That ^cthe mountain of the Lord’s house shall be ^destablished in the top of the mountains,

And shall be exalted above the hills;

And ^efall nations shall flow unto it.

³And many people shall go and say,

^gCome ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,

To the house of the God of Jacob;

And he will ^hteach us of his ways,

And we will walk in his paths:

For ⁱout of Zion shall go forth the law,

And ^fthe word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

⁴And he shall judge among the nations,

And shall rebuke many people:

And ^kthey shall beat their swords into ^lplowshares,

^kAnd their spears into ^mpruninghooks:

Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,

ⁿNeither shall they learn war any more.

⁵O house of Jacob, come ye,

And let us ^owalk in the light of the Lord.

⁶Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob,

Because they be replenished ^pfrom the east,

And are ^qsoothsayers ^rlike the Philistines,

And they ^splease themselves in the children of strangers.

⁷Their land also is ^tfull of silver and gold,

Neither is there any end of their treasures;

Their land is also ^ufull of horses,

Neither is there any end of their chariots:

⁸Their land also is ^vfull of ^widols;

They worship the work of their own hands,

That which their own fingers have made:

⁹And ^xthe mean man boweth down,

And ^xthe great man ^yhumbleth himself;

Therefore forgive them not.

^10zEnter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust,

^zaFor fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty.

^11bThe lofty looks of man shall be humbled,

And the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,

And ^cthe Lord alone shall be exalted ^din that day.

¹²For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is ^eproud and lofty,

And upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be ^ebrought low:

¹³And upon all ^fthe cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up,

And upon all ^gthe oaks of Bashan,

¹⁴And ^hupon all the high mountains,

And ^hupon all the hills that are lifted up,

¹⁵And upon every high tower,

And upon every fenced wall,

¹⁶And upon all ⁱthe ships of Tarshish,

And upon all pleasant pictures.

¹⁷And ^jthe loftiness of man shall be bowed down,

And the haughtiness of men shall be made low:

And the Lord alone shall be exalted ^jin that day.

¹⁸And ^kthe ^widols he shall utterly abolish.

¹⁹And ^lthey shall go into the ^mholes of the rocks,

And into the caves of the earth,

^lFor fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty,

When he ariseth ⁿto shake terribly the earth.

^20dIn that day ^oa man shall cast his ^widols of silver, and his ^widols of gold,

Which they made each one for himself to worship,

To the moles and to ^pthe bats;

^21lTo go into ^qthe clifts of the rocks,

And into ^rthe tops of the ragged rocks,

^lFor fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty,

When he ariseth ⁿto shake terribly the earth.

^22sCease ye from man, ^twhose breath is in his nostrils:

For wherein is he to be accounted of?
