Isaiah 2:1–8

The Mountain of Yahweh

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

²And it shall happen in the future of the days

the mountain of the house^a of Yahweh shall be established;

it will be among the highest^b of the mountains,

and it shall be raised from the hills.

All of the nations shall travel to him;

³many peoples shall come.

And they shall say,

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

to the house^c of the God of Jacob,

and may he teach us part of his ways,

and let us walk in his paths.”

For instruction shall go out from Zion,

and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

⁴He shall judge between the nations

and he shall arbitrate for many peoples.

They shall beat their swords into ploughshares

and their spears into pruning hooks.

A nation shall not lift up a sword against a nation,

and they shall not learn war again.

The Day of Yahweh

⁵House of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.

⁶For you have forsaken your people, house of Jacob,

because they are full^d from the east,

and of soothsayers like the Philistines,

and they make alliances^e with the offspring of foreigners.

⁷And 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.

⁸Its land is filled with idols;

they bow down to the work of their^f hands,

to what they made with their^g fingers.
