Isaiah 2:1-7

People From Many Nations Will Worship at Mount Zion

1 Here is a vision that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, had about Judah and Jerusalem.
2 In the last days the mountain where the LORD's temple is located will be famous. It will be the most important mountain of all. It will stand out above the hills. All of the nations will go to it.
3 People from many nations will go there. They will say, "Come. Let us go up to the LORD's mountain. Let's go to the house of Jacob's God. He will teach us how we should live. Then we will live the way he wants us to." The law of the LORD will be taught at Zion. His message will go out from Jerusalem.
4 He will judge between the nations. He'll settle problems among many of them. They will hammer their swords into plows. They'll hammer their spears into pruning tools. Nations will not go to war against one another. They won't even train to fight anymore.
5 People of Jacob, come. Let us live the way the LORD has taught us to.

The Day of the LORD Is Coming

6 Lord, you have deserted the people of Jacob. They are your people. The land is full of false beliefs from the east. The people practice evil magic, just as the Philistines do. They make ungodly people their friends.
7 Their 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.
