Isaiah 2

1The wordH1697 that IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 sawH2372 concerning JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.

2And it shall come to pass in the latterH319 daysH3117, that the mountainH2022 of Jehovah’s houseH1004 shall beH1961 establishedH3559 on the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and shall beH1961 exalted above the hillsH1389; and all nationsH1471 shall flow unto it. 3And manyH7227 peoplesH5971 shall goH1980 and sayH559, ComeH1980 ye, and let us goH1980 up to the mountainH2022 of Jehovah, to the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290; and he will teachH3384 us of his waysH1870, and we will walkH1980 in his pathsH734: for out of ZionH6726 shall goH1980 forthH3318 the lawH8451, and the wordH1697 of Jehovah from JerusalemH3389. 4And he will judgeH8199 between the nationsH1471, and will decideH3198 concerningH413 manyH7227 peoplesH5971; and they shall beatH3807 their swordsH2719 into plowshares, and their spearsH2595 into pruning-hooks; nationH1471 shall not liftH5375 up swordH2719 against nationH1471, neither shall they learnH3925 warH4421 any more.

5O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, come ye, and let us walk in the lightH216 of Jehovah. 6For thou hast forsaken thy peopleH5971 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, because they are filledH4390 with customs from the eastH6924, and are soothsayers like the PhilistinesH6430, and they strike hands with the childrenH3206 of foreignersH5237. 7And their landH776 is fullH4390 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, neither is there any endH7097 of their treasuresH214; their landH776 also is fullH4390 of horsesH5483, neither is there any endH7097 of their chariotsH4818. 8Their landH776 also is fullH4390 of idolsH457; they worship the workH4639 of their own handsH3027, that which their own fingersH676 have madeH6213. 9And the mean manH376 is bowedH7817 downH7817, and the great manH376 is brought lowH8213: therefore forgiveH5375 them not. 10Enter into the rockH6697, and hideH2934 thee in the dustH6083, from before the terrorH6343 of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majestyH1926. 11The lofty looks of manH376 shall be brought lowH8213, and the haughtinessH7312 of menH376 shall be bowedH7817 downH7817, and Jehovah aloneH905 shall be exaltedH7682 in that dayH3117.

12For there shall be a dayH3117 of Jehovah of hostsH6635 upon all that is proudH1343 and haughtyH7311, and upon all that is liftedH5375 up; and it shall be brought lowH8213; 13and upon all the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, that are highH7311 and liftedH5375 up, and upon all the oaksH437 of BashanH1316, 14and upon all the highH7311 mountainsH2022, and upon all the hillsH1389 that are liftedH5375 up, 15and upon every lofty towerH4026, and upon every fortifiedH1219 wallH2346, 16and upon all the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659, and upon all pleasant imagery. 17And the loftiness of manH376 shall be bowedH7817 downH7817, and the haughtinessH7312 of menH376 shall be brought lowH8213; and Jehovah aloneH905 shall be exaltedH7682 in that dayH3117. 18And the idolsH457 shall utterly pass away. 19And men shall goH935 into the cavesH4631 of the rocksH6697, and into the holes of the earthH776, from before the terrorH6343 of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majestyH1926, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earthH776. 20In that dayH3117 menH120 shall castH7993 awayH7993 their idolsH457 of silverH3701, and their idolsH457 of goldH2091, which have been madeH6213 for them to worship, to the moles and to the batsH5847; 21to goH935 into the caverns of the rocksH6697, and into the cleftsH5585 of the ragged rocksH6697, from before the terrorH6343 of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majestyH1926, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earthH776. 22CeaseH2308 ye from manH120, whose breathH5397 is in his nostrilsH639; for wherein is he to be accountedH2803 of?
