Isaiah 2
New King James Version
The Future House of God(A)
2 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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
5 O house of Jacob, come and let us (G)walk
In the light of the Lord.
6 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.
7 (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.
8 (L)Their land is also full of idols;
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made.
9 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?

Isaiah 2
Tree of Life Version
2 The word which Isaiah, son of Amoz saw
concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
Torah From Jerusalem
2 It will come to pass in the last days
that the mountain of Adonai’s House
will stand firm as head of the mountains
and will be exalted above the hills.
So all nations will flow to it.
3 Then many peoples will go and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of Adonai,
to the House of the God of Jacob!
Then He will teach us His ways,
and we will walk in His paths.”
For Torah will go forth from Zion[a]
and the word of Adonai from Jerusalem.
4 He will judge between the nations
and decide for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning knives.
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
nor will they learn war any more.
5 Come house of Jacob,
let us walk in the light of Adonai.
6 For You have forsaken Your people,
the house of Jacob.
For they are filled with soothsayers from the east,
and they have clapped hands with the children of foreigners.
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold,
nor is there any limit to their treasures.
Their land also is full of horses,
nor is there any limit to their chariots.
8 Their land also is full of idols.
They worship the work of their hands,
what their own fingers have made.
9 So humanity bows down
as each one lowers himself.
Pardon them not!
10 Enter into the rock
and hide in the dust,
for fear of Adonai,
and the glory of His majesty.
Lofty Ones Brought Low
11 The man of haughty eyes is humbled,
the lofty ones brought low,
for Adonai alone will be exalted in that day.
12 For the day of Adonai-Tzva’ot will be
against anyone proud and haughty,
against anyone lifted up—he will be humbled,
13 against all the cedars of Lebanon
that are lofty and lifted up,
against all the oaks of Bashan,
14 against all the high mountains,
against all the exalted hills,
15 against every high tower,
against every fortified wall,
16 against all the Tarshish ships,
and against all the luxury boats.
17 The pride of man will be humbled,
the arrogance of men abased,
for Adonai alone will be exalted in that day.
18 The idols will completely pass away.
19 People will go into the caves of the rocks
and into the holes of the earth,[b]
because of the fear of Adonai
and the splendor of His majesty,
when He arises to shake the earth.
20 In that day a man will cast away
his idols of silver and his idols of gold,
which they made to worship,
to the moles and to the bats!
21 They go into the clefts of the rocks
and the crevices of the crags,
because of fear of Adonai
and the splendor of His majesty,
when He arises to shake the earth.
22 Stop trusting in mankind
—whose breath is in his nose—
for what is he really worth?
