Isaiah 2:1-11

The Mountain of the LORD 1This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

2In the last days the mountain of the LORD ’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

3Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain 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 will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

5Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD .

The Day of the LORD 6You, LORD, have abandoned your people, the descendants of Jacob. They are full of superstitions from the East; they practice divination like the Philistines and embrace pagan customs.

7Their land is full of silver and gold; there is no end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses; there is no end to their chariots.

8Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.

9So people will be brought low and everyone humbled— do not forgive them. Or not raise them up

10Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty!

11The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled and human pride brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
