Isaiah 2:1–8

The Mountain of the Lord

2The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

^2lIt shall come to pass in the latter days

that ^mthe 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 ⁿall the nations shall flow to it,

³and ^omany 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 ^pout of Zion shall go forth the law,¹

and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

⁴He shall judge between the nations,

and shall decide disputes for many peoples;

^qand they shall beat their swords into plowshares,

and their spears into pruning hooks;

^rnation shall not lift up sword against nation,

neither shall they learn war anymore.

⁵O house of Jacob,

come, let us walk

in ^sthe light of the Lord.

The Day of the Lord

⁶For you have rejected your people,

the house of Jacob,

because they are full of things ^tfrom the east

and ^uof fortune-tellers ^vlike the Philistines,

and they ^wstrike hands with the children of foreigners.

⁷Their land is ^xfilled with silver and gold,

and there is no end to their treasures;

their land is ^yfilled with horses,

and there is no end to their chariots.

⁸Their land is ^zfilled with idols;

they bow down to ^athe work of their hands,

to what their own fingers have made.
