Isaiah 2

New Living Translation NLT

1 This is a vision that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

2 In the last days, the mountain of the LORD ’s house will be the highest of all— the most important place on earth. It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.

3 People from many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of Jacob’s God. There he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the LORD ’s teaching will go out from Zion; his word will go out from Jerusalem.

4 The LORD will mediate between nations and will settle international disputes. They will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer fight against nation, nor train for war anymore.

5 Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD !

6 For the LORD has rejected his people, the descendants of Jacob, because they have filled their land with practices from the East and with sorcerers, as the Philistines do. They have made alliances with pagans.

7 Israel is full of silver and gold; there is no end to its treasures. Their land is full of warhorses; there is no end to its chariots.

8 Their land is full of idols; the people worship things they have made with their own hands.

9 So now they will be humbled, and all will be brought low— do not forgive them.

10 Crawl into caves in the rocks. Hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the glory of his majesty.

11 Human pride will be brought down, and human arrogance will be humbled. Only the LORD will be exalted on that day of judgment.

12 For the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has a day of reckoning. He will punish the proud and mighty and bring down everything that is exalted.

13 He will cut down the tall cedars of Lebanon and all the mighty oaks of Bashan.

14 He will level all the high mountains and all the lofty hills.

15 He will break down every high tower and every fortified wall.

16 He will destroy all the great trading ships and every magnificent vessel.

17 Human pride will be humbled, and human arrogance will be brought down. Only the LORD will be exalted on that day of judgment.

18 Idols will completely disappear.

19 When the LORD rises to shake the earth, his enemies will crawl into holes in the ground. They will hide in caves in the rocks from the terror of the LORD and the glory of his majesty.

20 On that day of judgment they will abandon the gold and silver idols they made for themselves to worship. They will leave their gods to the rodents and bats,

21 while they crawl away into caverns and hide among the jagged rocks in the cliffs. They will try to escape the terror of the LORD and the glory of his majesty as he rises to shake the earth.

22 Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they?

Common English Bible CEB

1 This is what Isaiah, Amoz's son, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2 In the days to come the mountain of the LORD's house will be the highest of the mountains. It will be lifted above the hills; peoples will stream to it.

3 Many nations will go and say, "Come, let's go up to the LORD's mountain, to the house of Jacob's God so that he may teach us his ways and we may walk in God's paths." Instruction will come from Zion; the LORD's word from Jerusalem.

4 God will judge between the nations, and settle disputes of mighty nations. Then they will beat their swords into iron plows and their spears into pruning tools. Nation will not take up sword against nation; they will no longer learn how to make war.

5 Come, house of Jacob, let's walk by the LORD's light.

6 You have abandoned your people, house of Jacob. They are full of sorcerers from the east and fortune-tellers like the Philistines; they hold hands with foreigners' children.

7 Their land is full of silver and gold; they have countless treasures. Their land is filled with horses; they have countless chariots.

8 Their land is filled with idols; they worship their handiwork, what their own fingers have made.

9 Humanity will be brought down; each person laid low—don't lift them up!

10 Go into the rocks, and hide yourself in the dust from the terror of the LORD, from the splendor of God's majesty!

11 People's proud gazing will be stopped and humanity's arrogance brought down; the LORD alone will be exalted on that day.

12 The LORD of heavenly forces has planned a day: against all that is prideful and haughty; against all that is lofty, and it will be laid low;

13 against all the cedars of Lebanon, high and lofty; against all the oaks of Bashan;

14 against all the high mountains; against all the lofty hills;

15 against every tall tower; against every fortified wall;

16 against all the ships of Tarshish; against all the wonderful boats.

17 People's pride will be brought down and human arrogance humiliated. The LORD alone will be exalted on that day;

18 the idols will completely pass away.

19 Go into caves in the rocks and holes in the dust before the terror of the LORD and the splendor of God's majesty, when he arises to terrify the earth.

20 On that day, people will toss to the rodents and to the bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship.

21 They will hide in fissures of rocks and in crevices of cliffs before the terror of the LORD and the splendor of God's majesty when he arises to terrify the earth.

22 Quit admiring the human race, who breathe through their nostrils. Why should they be admired?
