The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
King James Version KJV
1 This is the word that Yesha'yahu the son of Amotz saw concerning Y'hudah and Yerushalayim:
1
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 In the acharit-hayamim the mountain of ADONAI's house will be established as the most important mountain. It will be regarded more highly than the other hills, and all the Goyim will stream there.
2
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.
3 Many peoples will go and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of ADONAI, to the house of the God of Ya'akov! He will teach us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Tziyon will go forth Torah, the word of ADONAI from Yerushalayim.
3
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.
4 He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. Then they will hammer their swords into plow-blades and their spears into pruning-knives; nations will not raise swords at each other, and they will no longer learn war.
4
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.
5 Descendants of Ya'akov, come! Let's live in the light of ADONAI!
5
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6 For you have abandoned your people the house of Ya'akov. Now they are filled from the east, full of sorcerers, like the P'lishtim; even the children of foreigners are enough for them!
6
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.
7 Their land is full of silver and gold; They have no end of treasures. Their land is full of horses; They have no end of chariots.
7
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:
8 Their land is full of idols; everyone worships the work of his hands, what his own fingers have made.
8
Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
9 A person bows down, a man lowers himself - don't forgive them!
9
And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10 Come into the rock, hide in the dust to escape the terror of ADONAI and the glory of his majesty.
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 proud looks of man will be humiliated; the arrogance of men will be bowed down; and when that day comes, ADONAI alone will be exalted.
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 Yes, ADONAI-Tzva'ot has a day in store for all who are proud and lofty, for all who are lifted high to be humiliated;
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 for all cedars of the L'vanon that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of the Bashan;
13
And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up;
14
And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15 for every high tower, for every fortified wall;
15
And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16 for every "Tarshish" ship, for every luxurious vessel.
16
And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
17 The pride of man will be bowed down, the arrogance of men will be humiliated, and when that day comes, ADONAI alone will be exalted.
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 People will enter cracks in the rocks and holes in the ground to escape the terror of ADONAI and his glorious majesty, when he sets out to convulse the earth.
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 On that day a man will take hold of his idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, and fling them away to the moles and bats!
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 Then they will enter the cracks in the rocks and the crevices in the cliffs to escape the terror of ADONAI and his glorious majesty, when he sets out to convulse the earth.
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 Stop relying on man, in whose nostrils is a mere breath - after all, he doesn't count for much, does he?
22
Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
