The word
that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah
and Jerusalem.
02 And it shall come to pass in the last days,
that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be
established in the top of the mountains, and
shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations
shall flow unto it.
03 And many people 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.
04 And he shall judge among the nations, and
shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat
their swords into plowshares, and their spears
into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn war any
more.
05 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in
the light of the Lord.
06 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the
house of Jacob, because they be replenished from
the east, and are soothsayers like the
Philistines, and they please themselves in the
children of strangers.
07 Their land also is full of silver and gold,
neither is there any end of their treasures;
their land is also full of horses, neither is
there any end of their chariots:
08 Their land also is full of idols; they worship
the work of their own hands, that which their own
fingers have made:
09 And the mean man boweth down, and the great
man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the
dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of
his majesty.

11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and
the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and
the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon
every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every
one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought
low:
13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are
high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of
Bashan,
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all
the hills that are lifted up,
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every
fenced wall,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon
all pleasant pictures.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and
the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks,
and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the
Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he
ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of
silver, and his idols of gold, which they made
each one for himself to worship, to the moles and
to the bats;
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into
the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the
Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he
ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his
nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
