ISAIAH
2.20
- That the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established as the top of the mountains,
- And shall be exalted above the hills;
- And all nations shall flow unto it.
- 3And many peoples shall go and say:
- 'Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
- 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 the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
- 4And He shall judge between the nations,
- And shall decide 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 any more.
- 5O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk
- In the light of the Lord.
- 6For Thou hast forsaken Thy people the house of Jacob;
- For they are replenished from the east,
- And with soothsayers like the Philistines,
- And they please themselves in the brood of aliens.
- 7Their land also is full of silver and gold,
- Neither is there any end of their treasures;
- Their land also is full of horses, Neither is there any end of their chariots.
- 8Their land also is full of idols;
- Every one worshippeth the work of his own hands,
- That which his own fingers have made.
- 9And man boweth down,
- And man lowereth himself;
- And Thou canst not bear with them.
- 10Enter into the rock,
- And hide thee in the dust,
- From before the terror of the Lord,
- And from the glory of His majesty.
- 11The lofty looks of man shall be brought low,
- And the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
- And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
- 12For the Lord of hosts hath a day
- Upon all that is proud and lofty,
- And upon all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low;
- 13And upon all the cedars of Lebanon
- That are high and lifted up,
- And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
- 14And upon all the high mountains,
- And upon all the hills that are lifted up; 15And upon every lofty tower,
- And upon every fortified wall;
- 16And upon all the ships of Tarshish,
- And upon all delightful imagery.
- 17And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
- And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
- And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
- 18And the idols shall utterly pass away.
- 19And men shall go into the caves of the rocks,
- And into the holes of the earth,
- From before the terror of the Lord,
- And from the glory of His majesty,
- When He ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
- 20In that day a man shall cast away
