Isaiah 2
2
The Message About Jerusalem
1Isaiah son of Amoz saw this message about Judah and Jerusalem:
2In the last days
the mountain on which the Lord’s Temple stands
will become the most important of all mountains.
It will be raised above the hills,
and people from all nations will come streaming to it.
3Many nations will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the Temple of the God of Jacob.
Then God will teach us his ways,
and we will obey his teachings.”
His teachings will go out from Jerusalem;
the message of the Lord will go out from Jerusalem.
4He will settle arguments among the nations
and will make decisions for many nations.
Then they will make their swords into plows
and their spears into hooks for trimming trees.
Nations will no longer fight other nations,
nor will they train for war anymore.
5Come, family of Jacob,
and let us follow the way of the Lord.
A Terrible Day Is Coming
6Lord, you have left your people,
the family of Jacob,
because they have become filled with wrong ideas from people in the East.
They try to tell the future like the Philistines,
and they have completely accepted those foreign ideas.
7Their land has been filled with silver and gold;
there are a great many treasures there.
Their land has been filled with horses;
there are many chariots there.
8Their land is full of idols.
The people worship these idols they made with their own hands
and shaped with their own fingers.
9People will not be proud any longer
but will bow low with shame.
God, do not forgive them.
10Go into the caves of the cliffs;
dig holes and hide in the ground
from the anger of the Lord
and from his great power!
11Proud people will be made humble,
and they will bow low with shame.
At that time only the Lord will still be praised.
12The Lord All-Powerful has a certain day planned
when he will punish the proud and those who brag,
and they will no longer be important.
13He will bring down the tall cedar trees from Lebanon
and the great oak trees of Bashan,
14all the tall mountains
and the high hills,
15every tall tower
and every high, strong wall,
16all the trading ships
and the beautiful ships.
17At that time proud people will be made humble,
and they will bow low with shame.
At that time only the Lord will be praised,
18but all the idols will be gone.
19People will run to caves in the rocky cliffs
and will dig holes and hide in the ground
from the anger of the Lord
and his great power,
when he stands to shake the earth.
20At that time people will throw away
their gold and silver idols,
which they made for themselves to worship;
they will throw them away to the bats and moles.
21Then the people will hide in caves
and cracks in the rocks
from the anger of the Lord
and his great power,
when he stands to shake the earth.
22You should stop trusting in people to save you,
because people are only human;
they aren’t able to help you.
