Isaiah 2

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 This is what Yesha`yahu the son of Amotz saw concerning Yehudah and Yerushalayim.

2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be raised above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it.

3 Many peoples shall go and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Ya`akov; And he will teach us of his ways, And we will walk in his paths. For out of Tziyon the law shall go forth, And the word of the LORD from Yerushalayim.

4 He will judge between the nations, And will decide concerning many peoples; And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning-hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war any more.

5 House of Ya`akov, come, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

6 For you have forsaken your people, the house of Ya`akov, Because they are filled from the east, With those who practice divination like the Pelishtim, And they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.

7 Their land is full of silver and gold, Neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, Neither is there any end of their chariots.

8 Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, That which their own fingers have made.

9 Man is brought low, And mankind is humbled; Therefore don't forgive them.

10 Enter into the rock, And hide in the dust, From before the terror of the LORD, And from the glory of his majesty.

11 The lofty looks of man will be brought low, The haughtiness of men will be bowed down, And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

12 For there will be a day of the LORD of Hosts for all that is proud and haughty, And for all that is lifted up; And it shall be brought low:

13 For all the cedars of Levanon, that are high and lifted up, For all the oaks of Bashan,

14 For all the high mountains, For all the hills that are lifted up,

15 For every lofty tower, For every fortified wall,

16 For all the ships of Tarshish, And for all pleasant imagery.

17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; And the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

18 The idols shall utterly pass away.

19 Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, And into the holes of the eretz, From before the terror of the LORD, And from the glory of his majesty, When he arises to shake the eretz mightily.

20 In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver, And their idols of gold, Which have been made for themselves to worship, To the moles and to the bats;

21 To go into the caverns of the rocks, And into the clefts of the ragged rocks, From before the terror of the LORD, And from the glory of his majesty, When he arises to shake the eretz mightily.

22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; For of what account is he?

The Message Bible MSG

1 The Message Isaiah got regarding Judah and Jerusalem:

2 There's a day coming when the mountain of God's House Will be The Mountain - solid, towering over all mountains. All nations will river toward it, people from all over set out for it.

3 They'll say, "Come, let's climb God's Mountain, go to the House of the God of Jacob. He'll show us the way he works so we can live the way we're made." Zion's the source of the revelation. God's Message comes from Jerusalem.

4 He'll settle things fairly between nations. He'll make things right between many peoples. They'll turn their swords into shovels, their spears into hoes. No more will nation fight nation; they won't play war anymore.

5 Come, family of Jacob, let's live in the light of God.

6 God, you've walked out on your family Jacob because their world is full of hokey religion, Philistine witchcraft, and pagan hocus-pocus,

7 a world rolling in wealth, Stuffed with things, no end to its machines and gadgets,

8 And gods - gods of all sorts and sizes. These people make their own gods and worship what they make.

9 A degenerate race, facedown in the gutter. Don't bother with them! They're not worth forgiving! Pretentious Egos Brought Down to Earth

10 Head for the hills, hide in the caves From the terror of God, from his dazzling presence.

11 People with a big head are headed for a fall, pretentious egos brought down a peg. It's God alone at front-and-center on the Day we're talking about,

12 The Day that God-of-the-Angel-Armies is matched against all big-talking rivals, against all swaggering big names;

13 Against all giant sequoias hugely towering, and against the expansive chestnut;

14 Against Kilimanjaro and Annapurna, against the ranges of Alps and Andes;

15 Against every soaring skyscraper, against all proud obelisks and statues;

16 Against ocean-going luxury liners, against elegant three-masted schooners.

17 The swelled big heads will be punctured bladders, the pretentious egos brought down to earth, Leaving God alone at front-and-center on the Day we're talking about.

18 And all those sticks and stones dressed up to look like gods will be gone for good.

19 Clamber into caves in the cliffs, duck into any hole you can find. Hide from the terror of God, from his dazzling presence, When he assumes his full stature on earth, towering and terrifying.

20 On that Day men and women will take the sticks and stones They've decked out in gold and silver to look like gods and then worshiped, And they will dump them in any ditch or gully,

21 Then run for rock caves and cliff hideouts To hide from the terror of God, from his dazzling presence, When he assumes his full stature on earth, towering and terrifying.

22 Quit scraping and fawning over mere humans, so full of themselves, so full of hot air! Can't you see there's nothing to them?
