The Mountain of the Lord

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

And it shall come to pass in the end of days, [that] the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow unto it.

2

It shall come to pass in the latter days
that the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and shall be lifted up above the hills;
and all the nations shall flow to it,

3

And many peoples shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, 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 Jehovah's word from Jerusalem.

3

and many peoples shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,a
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

4

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall reprove many peoples; and they shall forge their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-knives: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

4

He shall judge between the nations,
and shall decide disputes for many peoples;
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore.

5

House of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.

5

O house of Jacob,
come, let us walk
in the light of the Lord.

6

The Day of the Reckoning

For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled [with what comes] from the east, and use auguries like the Philistines, and ally themselves with the children of foreigners.

6

The Day of the Lord

For you have rejected your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are full of things from the east
and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines,
and they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

7

And their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no end of their treasures: their land also is full of horses, and there is no end of their chariots.

7

Their land is filled with silver and gold,
and there is no end to their treasures;
their land is filled with horses,
and there is no end to their chariots.

8

And their land is full of idols; they bow themselves down to the work of their own hands, to that which their fingers have made.

8

Their land is filled with idols;
they bow down to the work of their hands,
to what their own fingers have made.

9

And the mean man shall be bowed down, and the great man shall be brought low: and do not thou forgive them!

9

So man is humbled,
and each one is brought low —
do not forgive them!

10

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty.

10

Enter into the rock
and hide in the dust
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty.

11

The lofty eyes of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.

11

The haughty looks of man shall be brought low,
and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

12

For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon everything proud and lofty, and upon everything lifted up, and it shall be brought low;

12

For the Lord of hosts has a day
against all that is proud and lofty,
against all that is lifted up — and it shall be brought low;

13

and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan;

13

against all the cedars of Lebanon,
lofty and lifted up;
and against all the oaks of Bashan;

14

and upon all the lofty mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up;

14

against all the lofty mountains,
and against all the uplifted hills;

15

and upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall;

15

against every high tower,
and against every fortified wall;

16

and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant works of art.

16

against all the ships of Tarshish,
and against all the beautiful craft.

17

And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day:

17

And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,
and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

18

and the idols shall utterly pass away.

18

And the idols shall utterly pass away.

19

And they shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall arise to terrify the earth.

19

And people shall enter the caves of the rocks
and the holes of the ground,b
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
when he rises to terrify the earth.

20

In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made [each] for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

20

In that day mankind will cast away
their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
which they made for themselves to worship,
to the moles and to the bats,

21

to go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the fissures of the cliffs, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall arise to terrify the earth.

21

to enter the caverns of the rocks
and the clefts of the cliffs,
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
when he rises to terrify the earth.

22

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for what account is to be made of him?

22

Stop regarding man
in whose nostrils is breath,
for of what account is he?
