“1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and
Jerusalem. 2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the
mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the
mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall
flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go
up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he
will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of
Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and
they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into
pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither
shall they learn war any more. 5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us
walk in the light of the LORD.”
“6 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. 7
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: 8 Their land also is full of idols; they
worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have
made: 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth
himself: therefore forgive them not.”
“10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the
LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. 11 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. 12 For the day of the LORD of hosts
[shall be] upon every [one that is] proud and lofty, and upon every [one
that is] lifted up; and he shall be brought low: 13 And upon all the
cedars of Lebanon, [that are] high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks
of Bashan, 14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills
[that are] lifted up, 15 And upon every high tower, and upon every
fenced wall, 16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all
pleasant pictures. 17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and
the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be
exalted in that day. 18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish. 19 And
they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the
earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he
ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 20 In that day a man shall cast his
idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made [each one] for
himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; 21 To go into the
clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of
the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake
terribly the earth. 22 Cease ye from man, whose breath [is] in his
nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” (Isaiah 2:1-22 AV)
