Ang salita na naalaman ni Isaias na anak ni Amoz tungkol sa Juda at Jerusalem.

At mangyayari sa mga huling araw, na ang bundok ng bahay ng Panginoon ay matatatag sa taluktok ng mga bundok, at magiging mataas sa mga burol; at lahat ng bansa ay magsisiparoon doon.

At maraming bayan ay magsisiyaon at mangagsasabi, Halina kayo, at tayo'y magsiahon sa bundok ng Panginoon, sa bahay ng Dios ni Jacob; at tuturuan niya tayo ng kaniyang mga daan, at tayo'y magsisilakad sa kaniyang mga landas: sapagka't mula sa Sion ay lalabas ang kautusan, at ang salita ng Panginoon ay mula sa Jerusalem.

At siya'y hahatol sa gitna ng mga bansa, at sasaway sa maraming tao: at kanilang pupukpukin ang kanilang mga tabak upang maging mga sudsod, at ang kanilang mga sibat ay maging mga karit: ang bansa ay hindi magtataas ng tabak laban sa bansa, o mangagaaral pa man sila ng pakikipagdigma.

Oh sangbahayan ni Jacob, halikayo, at tayo'y magsilakad sa liwanag ng Panginoon.

Sapagka't iyong binayaan ang iyong bayan na sangbahayan ni Jacob, sapagka't sila'y puspos ng mga kaugaliang mula sa silanganan, at mga enkantador gaya ng mga Filisteo, at sila'y nangakikipagkamay sa mga anak ng mga taga ibang lupa.

Ang kanilang lupain naman ay puno ng pilak at ginto, ni walang wakas ang kanilang mga kayamanan; ang kanila namang lupain ay puno ng mga kabayo, ni walang katapusang bilang ang kanilang mga karo.

Ang kanila namang lupain ay puno ng mga diosdiosan; kanilang sinasamba ang gawa ng kanilang sariling mga kamay, na ginawa ng kanilang sariling mga daliri.

At ang taong hamak ay yumuyuko, at ang mataas na tao ay nabababa: kaya't huwag mong patawarin sila.

10 Pumasok ka sa malaking bato, at magkubli ka sa alabok, sa kakilabutan sa Panginoon, at sa kaluwalhatian ng kaniyang kamahalan.

11 Ang mga tinging mapagmataas ng tao ay mabababa, at ang mga pagmamataas ng mga tao ay mahuhutok, at ang Panginoon magisa ay mabubunyi sa kaarawang yaon.

12 Sapagka't magkakaroon ng isang kaarawan ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo sa lahat na palalo at mapagmataas, at sa lahat na nagmamataas; at yao'y mabababa:

13 At sa lahat ng cedro ng Libano, na matayog at mataas, at sa lahat ng encina ng Basan;

14 At sa lahat ng matataas na bundok, at sa lahat ng mga burol na nangataas;

15 At sa bawa't matayog na moog, at sa bawa't kutang nababakod:

16 At sa lahat ng mga sasakyang dagat ng Tarsis, at sa lahat ng maligayang bagay.

17 At ang kahambugan ng tao ay huhutukin, at ang mga pagmamataas ng mga tao ay mabababa: at ang Panginoon magisa ay mabubunyi sa kaarawang yaon.

18 At ang mga diosdiosan ay mapapawing lubos.

19 At ang mga tao ay magsisipasok sa mga yungib ng malalaking bato, at sa mga puwang ng lupa, sa harap ng kakilabutan sa Panginoon, at sa kaluwalhatian ng kaniyang kamahalan, pagka siya'y bumangon upang yaniging may kapangyarihan ang lupa.

20 Sa kaarawang yaon ay ihahagis ng mga tao ang kanilang mga diosdiosang pilak, at ang kanilang mga diosdiosang ginto, na kanilang ginawa upang sambahin, sa yungib ng mga bilig at ng mga paniki;

21 Upang pumasok sa mga puwang ng malalaking bato, at sa mga bitak ng mga malaking bato, sa harap ng kakilabutan sa Panginoon, at sa kaluwalhatian ng kaniyang kamahalan, pagka siya'y bumangon upang yaniging may kapangyarihan ang lupa.

22 Layuan ninyo ang tao, na ang hinga ay nasa kaniyang mga butas ng ilong: sapagka't sa ano pahahalagahan siya?

God’s Universal Reign

The word [from God] which Isaiah son of Amoz saw [in a vision] concerning [the nation of] Judah and [its capital city] Jerusalem.


Now it will come to pass that
In the last days
The mountain of the house of the Lord
Will be [firmly] established as the [a]highest of the mountains,
And will be exalted above the hills;
And all the nations will stream to it.

And many peoples shall come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house (temple) of the God of Jacob;
That He may teach us His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For the law will go out from Zion
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

And He will judge between the nations,
And will mediate [disputes] for many peoples;
And they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not lift up the sword against nation,
And never again will they learn war.(A)


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

Most certainly [Lord] You have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled with influences from the east,
And they are soothsayers [who foretell] like the Philistines;
Also they strike bargains with the children of foreigners (pagans).(B)

Their land has also been filled with silver and gold
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land has also been filled with horses
And there is no end to their chariots.(C)

Their land has also been filled with idols;
They worship the work of their hands,
That which their own fingers have made.

So the common man has been humbled [before idols]
And the man of importance has been degraded,
Therefore do not forgive them [O Lord].
10 
Go among the rocks and hide in the dust
From the terror of the Lord and from the splendor of His majesty.
11 
The proud look of man will be degraded
And the arrogance of men will be humbled,
And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

A Day of Reckoning Coming

12 
For the Lord of hosts will have a day of reckoning
Against all who are proud and arrogant
And against all who are lifted up,
That they may be degraded.(D)
13 
And the wrath of God will be against all the cedars of Lebanon [west of the Jordan] that are high and lifted up,
Against all the oaks of Bashan [east of the Jordan],
14 
Against all the high mountains,
Against all the hills that are lifted up,
15 
Against every high tower,
Against every fortified wall,
16 
Against all the ships of Tarshish
And against all the beautiful craft.
17 
Then the pride of man will be humbled
And the arrogance of men will be degraded;
The Lord alone shall be exalted in that day,
18 
And the idols will completely vanish (be abolished).
19 
They [the stricken, deprived of all in which they had trusted] will go into the caves of the rocks
And into the holes of the ground [fleeing]
From the terror and dread of the Lord
And from the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to terrify the earth.(E)
20 
In that day men will throw away to the moles and to the bats
Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
Which they made for themselves [as objects] to worship,
21 
To go into the caverns of the rocks and into the clefts of the [ragged] cliffs [as they flee]
From the terror and dread of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to terrify the earth.
22 
Stop regarding man, whose breath [of life] is in his nostrils [for so little time];
For why should he be esteemed?

The Mountain of the Lord(A)

This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:(B)

In the last days(C)

the mountain(D) of the Lord’s temple will be established
    as the highest of the mountains;(E)
it will be exalted(F) above the hills,
    and all nations will stream to it.(G)

Many peoples(H) will come and say,

“Come, let us go(I) up to the mountain(J) of the Lord,
    to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
    so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law(K) will go out from Zion,
    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.(L)
He will judge(M) between the nations
    and will settle disputes(N) for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks.(O)
Nation will not take up sword against nation,(P)
    nor will they train for war anymore.

Come, descendants of Jacob,(Q)
    let us walk in the light(R) of the Lord.

The Day of the Lord

You, Lord, have abandoned(S) your people,
    the descendants of Jacob.(T)
They are full of superstitions from the East;
    they practice divination(U) like the Philistines(V)
    and embrace(W) pagan customs.(X)
Their land is full of silver and gold;(Y)
    there is no end to their treasures.(Z)
Their land is full of horses;(AA)
    there is no end to their chariots.(AB)
Their land is full of idols;(AC)
    they bow down(AD) to the work of their hands,(AE)
    to what their fingers(AF) have made.
So people will be brought low(AG)
    and everyone humbled(AH)
    do not forgive them.[a](AI)

10 Go into the rocks, hide(AJ) in the ground
    from the fearful presence of the Lord
    and the splendor of his majesty!(AK)
11 The eyes of the arrogant(AL) will be humbled(AM)
    and human pride(AN) brought low;(AO)
the Lord alone will be exalted(AP) in that day.(AQ)

12 The Lord Almighty has a day(AR) in store
    for all the proud(AS) and lofty,(AT)
for all that is exalted(AU)
    (and they will be humbled),(AV)
13 for all the cedars of Lebanon,(AW) tall and lofty,(AX)
    and all the oaks of Bashan,(AY)
14 for all the towering mountains
    and all the high hills,(AZ)
15 for every lofty tower(BA)
    and every fortified wall,(BB)
16 for every trading ship[b](BC)
    and every stately vessel.
17 The arrogance of man will be brought low(BD)
    and human pride humbled;(BE)
the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,(BF)
18     and the idols(BG) will totally disappear.(BH)

19 People will flee to caves(BI) in the rocks
    and to holes in the ground(BJ)
from the fearful presence(BK) of the Lord
    and the splendor of his majesty,(BL)
    when he rises to shake the earth.(BM)
20 In that day(BN) people will throw away
    to the moles and bats(BO)
their idols of silver and idols of gold,(BP)
    which they made to worship.(BQ)
21 They will flee to caverns in the rocks(BR)
    and to the overhanging crags
from the fearful presence of the Lord
    and the splendor of his majesty,(BS)
    when he rises(BT) to shake the earth.(BU)

22 Stop trusting in mere humans,(BV)
    who have but a breath(BW) in their nostrils.
    Why hold them in esteem?(BX)
