1. 1The message that Isaiah son of Amoz saw about Judah and Jerusalem.
2. 2In the last days, the mountain where the LORD's temple stands will be established as the highest of all mountains, raised above every hill, and people from every nation will stream toward it.
3. 3Many peoples will say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, and we will follow his paths." For the law will go out from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4. 4He will settle disputes between nations and correct many peoples. They will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not raise a sword against nation, and they will never again train for war.
5. 5People of Jacob, come — let's walk in the light of the LORD!
6. 6Therefore you have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7. 7Their land overflows with silver and gold — there's no end to their wealth. Their land is packed with horses — there's no end to their chariots.
8. 8Their land is also packed with idols. They bow down to things their own hands have made, objects shaped by their own fingers.
9. 9So the common person bows down and the powerful man humbles himself — do not forgive them!
10. 10Enter into the rock and hide in the dust, because of the fear of the LORD and the glory of his majesty.
11. 11The proud looks of humanity will be brought low, and human arrogance will be crushed. The LORD alone will be exalted on that day.
12. 12For the day of the LORD of hosts will be upon everyone who is proud and lofty, and upon everyone who is lifted up; and he will be brought low.
13. 13That day will come against all the tall, towering cedars of Lebanon and all the mighty oaks of Bashan,
14. 14against every high mountain and every lofty hill,
15. 15against every tall tower and every fortified wall,
16. 16and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
17. 17Human pride will be brought down, and human arrogance will be crushed. The LORD alone will be exalted on that day.
18. 18And the idols he will completely abolish.
19. 19They will 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 rises to shake the earth terribly.
20. 20On that day, people will throw away the silver idols and gold idols they made for themselves to worship — they'll toss them to the moles and the bats.
21. 21to 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 rises to shake the earth terribly.
22. 22Stop relying on man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for what is he to be considered?
