1THE word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2And it will come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of Yahvah's house will be established above the mountains, and will be exalted above the hills; and all nations will look to it.
3And many people will go and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahvah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion will go forth the law, and the word of Yahvah from Jerusalem.
4And he will judge among the nations, and will rebuke many peoples who are far off; and they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles: nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore.
5Oh house of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of Yahvah.
6For you have forsaken your people the house of Jacob, because they are self-satisfied as in the olden days, and they practice augury like the Philistines, and they have reared many alien children. 7Their land is also filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; their land is also filled with horses, and there is no end to their chariots; 8Their land is also filled with idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9And the common man is humbled, and the mighty man is brought low; therefore do not forgive them.
10Enter into the rocks, and hide in the dust, for fear of Yahvah, and for the glory of his majesty. 11The lofty looks of man will be humbled, and the haughtiness of man will be brought low, and Yahvah alone will be exalted in that day. 12For the day of Yahvah will be against everyone who is proud and lofty, and against everyone who is lifted up, that he will be brought low; 13And against all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and against all the oaks of Bashan, 14And against all the high mountains, and against all the hills that are lifted up, 15And against every high tower, and against every fenced wall, 16And against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the pleasant sights. 17And the loftiness of man will be humbled, and the haughtiness of man will be brought low: and Yahvah alone will be exalted in that day. 18And the idols will utterly pass away. 19And the people will go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of Yahvah, and for the glory of his majesty, when he arises to conquer the earth. 20In that day a man will cast away to the moles and to the bats his idols of gold and his idols of silver, which they made each one for themselves to worship, 21To go into the caves of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, for fear of Yahvah, and for the glory of his majesty, when he arises to conquer the earth. 22Shun the man who is hasty for of what account is he?
