Isaiah 2

New Revised Standard NRS

1 The word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2 In days to come the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; all the nations shall stream to it.

3 Many peoples shall come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

4 He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; 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 O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!

6 For you have forsaken the ways of your people, O house of Jacob. Indeed they are full of diviners from the east and of soothsayers like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with foreigners.

7 Their land is filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; their land is filled with horses, and there is no end to their chariots.

8 Their land is filled with idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their own fingers have made.

9 And so people are humbled, and everyone is brought low— do not forgive them!

10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust from the terror of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.

11 The haughty eyes of people shall be brought low, and the pride of everyone shall be humbled; and the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.

12 For the Lord of hosts has a day against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up and high;

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

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

15 against every high tower, and against every fortified wall;

16 against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the beautiful craft.

17 The haughtiness of people shall be humbled, and the pride of everyone shall be brought low; and the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.

18 The idols shall utterly pass away.

19 Enter the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground, from the terror of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.

20 On that day people will throw away to the moles and to the bats their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship,

21 to enter the caverns of the rocks and the clefts in the crags, from the terror of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.

22 Turn away from mortals, who have only breath in their nostrils, for of what account 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?
