Isaiah 2:1–8

The City of Peace

2The vision that Isaiah ^pson of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

²In ^qthe last days ^r

the mountain of the Lord’s house ^swill be established

at the top of the mountains

and will be raised above the hills.

All nations will stream to it, ^t

³and many peoples will come and say,

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,

to the house of the God of Jacob. ^u

He will teach us about His ways

so that we may walk in His paths.”

For instruction will go out of Zion

and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

⁴He will settle disputes among the nations

and provide arbitration for many peoples.

They will turn their swords into plows

and their spears into pruning knives. ^v

Nations will not take up the sword against other nations,

and they will never again train for war. ^w

The Day of the Lord

⁵House of Jacob,

come and let us walk in the Lord’s light. ^x

⁶For You have abandoned ^yYour people,

the house of Jacob,

because they are full of divination from the East

and of fortune-tellers ^zlike the Philistines. ^a

They are in league ^bwith foreigners.

⁷Their ^cdland 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. ^e

⁸Their land is full of idols; ^f

they bow down to the work of their hands,

to what their fingers have made. ^g
