The Future House of God(A)

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

Now (B)it shall come to pass (C)in the latter days
(D)That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
Many people shall come and say,
(E)“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
(F)For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations,
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning [a]hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.

The Day of the Lord

O house of Jacob, come and let us (G)walk
In the light of the Lord.

For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled (H)with eastern ways;
They are (I)soothsayers like the Philistines,
(J)And they [b]are pleased with the children of foreigners.
(K)Their land is also full of silver and gold,
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land is also full of horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.
(L)Their land is also full of idols;
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made.
People bow down,
And each man humbles himself;
Therefore do not forgive them.

10 (M)Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty.
11 The [c]lofty looks of man shall be (N)humbled,
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
And the Lord alone shall be exalted (O)in that day.

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts
Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,
Upon everything lifted up—
And it shall be brought low—
13 Upon all (P)the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,
And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 (Q)Upon all the high mountains,
And upon all the hills that are lifted up;
15 Upon every high tower,
And upon every fortified wall;
16 (R)Upon all the ships of Tarshish,
And upon all the beautiful sloops.
17 The [d]loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
18 But the idols [e]He shall utterly abolish.

19 They shall go into the (S)holes of the rocks,
And into the caves of the [f]earth,
(T)From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises (U)to shake the earth mightily.

20 In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver
And his idols of gold,
Which they made, each for himself to worship,
To the moles and bats,
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks,
And into the crags of the rugged rocks,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

22 (V)Sever[g] yourselves from such a man,
Whose (W)breath is in his nostrils;
For [h]of what account is he?

El Señor hará que reine la paz entre las naciones(A)

Éstas son las profecías que Isaías, hijo de Amós, recibió por revelación acerca de Judá y Jerusalén:

En los últimos tiempos quedará afirmado
el monte donde se halla el templo del Señor.
Será el monte más alto,
más alto que cualquier otro monte.
Todas las naciones vendrán a él;
pueblos numerosos llegarán, diciendo:
«Vengan, subamos al monte del Señor,
al templo del Dios de Jacob,
para que él nos enseñe sus caminos
y podamos andar por sus senderos.»
Porque de Sión saldrá la enseñanza del Señor,
de Jerusalén vendrá su palabra.
El Señor juzgará entre las naciones
y decidirá los pleitos de pueblos numerosos.
Ellos convertirán sus espadas en arados
y sus lanzas en hoces.
Ningún pueblo volverá a tomar las armas contra otro
ni a recibir instrucción para la guerra.
¡Vamos, pueblo de Jacob,
caminemos a la luz del Señor!

Castigo de los soberbios

Señor, has abandonado a tu gente, al pueblo de Jacob;
el país está lleno de adivinos venidos del oriente,
de magos como entre los filisteos,
y se hacen tratos con extranjeros.
El país está lleno de oro y plata,
de tesoros inmensos;
el país está lleno de caballos
y de infinidad de carros.
¡Pero también está lleno de ídolos!
La gente adora los dioses que ha hecho con sus manos,
con sus propios dedos.
Se han humillado, se han rebajado.
¡No los perdones!

10 La gente se meterá entre las rocas,
debajo del suelo;
se esconderá de la presencia terrible del Señor,
del resplandor de su majestad.
11 Los orgullosos tendrán que bajar la vista;
los altaneros se verán humillados.
Sólo el Señor mostrará su grandeza en aquel día,
12 el día en que el Señor todopoderoso actúe
contra todo hombre orgulloso y soberbio,
contra todo hombre altanero, para humillarlo;
13 contra todos los que se creen cedros del Líbano,
altos y elevados,
o robles de Basán;
14 contra todos los que se creen montes altos
o cerros elevados,
15 contra todos los que se creen torres altas
o fuertes murallas,
16 contra todos los que se creen naves de Tarsis
o barcos preciosos.
17 Los orgullosos y altaneros
serán humillados por completo.
Solamente el Señor mostrará su grandeza en aquel día,
18 y acabará con todos los ídolos.

19 Cuando el Señor se levante y llene de terror la tierra,
la gente se meterá en las cuevas de las rocas,
en los hoyos del suelo;
se esconderá de la presencia terrible del Señor,
del resplandor de su majestad.
20 En aquel día el hombre echará sus ídolos
a las ratas y a los murciélagos,
esos ídolos de oro y de plata
que él mismo se hizo para adorarlos,
21 y se meterá en los huecos de las rocas,
en las cuevas de las peñas,
para esconderse de la presencia terrible del Señor,
del resplandor de su majestad,
cuando él se levante y llene de terror la tierra.
22 Dejen de confiar en el hombre,
que bien poco es lo que vale.
La vida del hombre no es más que un suspiro.

The Future House of God

The word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.(A)

In days to come
    the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest of the mountains
    and shall be raised above the hills;
all the nations shall stream to it.(B)
    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 instruction
    and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.(C)
He shall judge between the nations
    and shall arbitrate for many peoples;
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 any more.(D)
O house of Jacob,
    come, let us walk
in the light of the Lord!(E)

Judgment Pronounced on Arrogance

You have forsaken your people,
    the house of Jacob,
for they are full of diviners[a] from the East
    and of soothsayers like the Philistines,
    and they clasp hands with foreigners.(F)
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.(G)
Their land is filled with idols;
    they bow down to the work of their hands,
    to what their own fingers have made.(H)
And so people are humbled,
    and everyone is brought low—
    [[do not forgive them!(I)
10 Enter into the rock,
    and hide in the dust
from the terror of the Lord
    and from the glory of his majesty.]][b](J)
11 The haughty eyes of people shall be brought low,
    and the pride of everyone shall be humbled,
and the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.(K)
12 For the Lord of hosts has a day
    against all that is proud and lofty,
    against all that is lifted up and high;[c](L)
13 against all the cedars of Lebanon,
    lofty and lifted up;
    and against all the oaks of Bashan;(M)
14 against all the high mountains
    and against all the lofty hills;(N)
15 against every high tower
    and against every fortified wall;
16 against all the ships of Tarshish
    and against all the highly prized vessels.(O)
17 The haughtiness of people shall be humbled,
    and the pride of everyone shall be brought low,
    and the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.(P)
18 The idols shall utterly pass away.(Q)
19 Enter the caves of the rocks
    and the holes of the ground,
from the terror of the Lord
    and from the glory of his majesty,
    when he rises to terrify the earth.(R)
20 On that day people will throw away
    to the moles and to the bats
their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
    which they made for themselves to worship,(S)
21 to enter the caverns of the rocks
    and the clefts in the crags,
from the terror of the Lord
    and from the glory of his majesty,
    when he rises to terrify the earth.(T)
22 [[Turn away from mortals,
    who have only breath in their nostrils,
    for of what account are they?]][d](U)

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)
