1The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, Established is the mount of Jehovah`s house, Above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And flowed unto it have all the nations.
3And gone have many peoples and said, `Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
4And He hath judged between the nations, And hath given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation doth not lift up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn any more -- war.
5O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of Jehovah.`
6For Thou hast left Thy people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And with the children of strangers strike hands.
7And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,
8And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made,
9And the low boweth down, and the high is humbled, And Thou acceptest them not.
10Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency.
11The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
12For a day [is] to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
13And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
14And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
15And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall,
16And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
17And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
19And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
20In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
21To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
22Cease for you from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For -- in what is he esteemed?
