2:1
The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
1.
(The restoration of the nation of Israel)
2:2-5
Isa. 2
:2
2:2
aBut in the
blast days
The
1cmountain of the house of Jehovah will be established
On the top of the mountains;
And it will be lifted up above the hills;
And all the
dnations will stream to it,
Isa. 2
:3
2:3
And many peoples will come and say,
aCome and let us go up to the
bmountain of Jehovah,
To the house of the God of Jacob,
That He may instruct us
1in His ways,
And that we may walk in His paths.
For from Zion will go forth
2instruction,
And the word of Jehovah from
cJerusalem;
Isa. 2
:4
2:4
And He will
1judge between the nations,
And will decide
matters for many peoples.
aAnd 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
bwar anymore.
Isa. 2
:5
2:5
House of Jacob, come and let us
awalk in the light of Jehovah.
Isa. 2
:6
2:6
For You have abandoned Your people,
The house of Jacob;
Because they are full of
customs from the east,
And they are soothsayers like the Philistines,
And they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
2.
(Jehovah's humiliating judgment on the haughty nations)
2:7-22
Isa. 2
:7
2:7
Their land is full of
1silver and gold,
And their treasures are limitless;
Their land is also full of horses,
And their chariots are limitless.
Isa. 2
:8
2:8
And their land is
afull of idols;
They bow down to the work of their hands,
To that which their fingers have made.
Isa. 2
:9
2:9
Thus the ordinary man is humbled, and the man of distinction is abased —
But do not forgive them.
Isa. 2
:10
2:10
Enter into the
arock,
And hide in the dust,
From the dread of Jehovah,
And from the splendor of His majesty.
Isa. 2
:11
2:11
Man’s
1ahaughty look will be abased,
And the loftiness of men will be humbled;
But Jehovah alone will be exalted
In that day.
Isa. 2
:12
2:12
For Jehovah of hosts will have a
1day Over everything proud and lofty,
And over everything lifted up that it may be abased;
Isa. 2
:13
2:13
Over all the
1cedars of Lebanon,
Which are lofty and lifted up,
And over all the
1oaks of Bashan;
Isa. 2
:14
2:14
Over all the
1lofty mountains,
And over all the
1hills that are lifted up;
Isa. 2
:15
2:15
Over every high tower,
And over every fortified wall;
Isa. 2
:16
2:16
Over all the ships of Tarshish,
And over all their pleasant
1artifacts.
Isa. 2
:17
2:17
And the
ahaughtiness of the ordinary man will be humbled,
And the loftiness of the men of distinction will be abased;
But Jehovah alone will be exalted
In that day.
Isa. 2
:18
2:18
And the idols will vanish completely.
Isa. 2
:19
2:19
And men will go into caves in the
arocks And into holes in the dust,
From the dread of Jehovah,
And from the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to make the earth tremble.
Isa. 2
:20
2:20
In that day a man will cast
His idols of silver and his idols of gold,
Which they made for themselves to bow down to,
To the moles and to the bats,
Isa. 2
:21
2:21
So that they may go into the crevices of the rocks
And into the clefts of the cliffs,
From the dread of Jehovah,
And from the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to make the earth tremble.
Isa. 2
:22
2:22
Stop regarding man,
Whose
life breath is in his nostrils.
For of what
value is he considered to be?
