Isaiah 2

¹ The word of Yahweh which came to Isaiah, sons of Amoz, concerning Judah and Jerusalem: ² And it comes in the days hereafter, established shall be the mount of Yahweh, and the house of the Elohim, on the summit of the mountains, and borne by the hills. And stream to it all the nations. ³ And go many peoples and say, "Go, and we will ascend to the mount of Yahweh, and to the house of the Elohim of Jacob, and He will direct us in His ways, and we will go in His paths." For from Zion shall fare forth the law, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem. ⁴ And He judges between the nations, and corrects many peoples. And they pound their swords into mattocks, and their spears into pruners. And nation is not lifting the sword against nation, nor learning still further to fight. ⁵ And now, O house of Jacob, go! And we shall walk in the light of Yahweh. ⁶ For He has abandoned His people, the house of Jacob, for they are full of divination from aforetime, and cloud consulters, as the Philistines, and with boys of foreigners are they slapping hands. ⁷ And their land is filling with silver and gold, and no end is there to their treasures; and their land is filling with horses, and no end is there to their chariots. ⁸ And their land is filling with forbidden idols, the make of their hands. They are worshiping that which they make with their fingers. ⁹ And prostrating is the human! And abasing himself is the man! And you must not be lifting them up. ¹⁰ Come into the cleft of the rock, and be buried in the soil, from the face of awe-inspiring Yahweh, and from the honor of His pomp, when He rises to terrify the earth. ¹¹ The eyes of the haughty human are low, and prostrate is the highness of mortals, and Yahweh alone is impregnable in that day. ¹² For a day for Yahweh of hosts is on everyone proud and high, and on everyone lifted up, and abased is he. ¹³ And on all cedars of Lebanon, high and uplifted, and on all oaks of Bashan, ¹⁴ and on all the high mountains, and on all the uplifted hills, ¹⁵ and on every lofty tower, and on every wall for defense, ¹⁶ and on all the ships of Tharshish, and on all the displays of coveted boats. ¹⁷ And prostrate is the haughtiness of humanity, and abased is the highness of mortals, and Yahweh alone is impregnable in that day. ¹⁸ And the forbidden idols are completely thrust away. ¹⁹ And they come into caves of the rocks, and into tunnels of the soil, from the face of awe-inspiring Yahweh, and from the honor of His pomp, when He rises to terrify the earth. ²⁰ In that day humanity shall fling its forbidden idols of silver, and its forbidden idols of gold, which they make for it to worship, to the mole rats, and to the bats, ²¹ to come into the fissures of the rocks, and into the forks of the crags, from the face of awe-inspiring Yahweh, and from the honor of His pomp, when He rises to terrify the earth. ²² Leave you off from the human, whose breath is in his nostrils! For what account is he?
