1.  This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
 +
 
 +
2.  In the last days
 +
::the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established
 +
::as the highest of the mountains;
 +
::it will be exalted above the hills,
 +
::and all nations will stream to it.
 +
 
 +
3.  Many peoples will come and say,
 +
::“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
 +
::to the temple of the God of Jacob.
 +
::He will teach us his ways,
 +
::so that we may walk in his paths.”
 +
::The law will go out from Zion,
 +
::the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
 +
 
 +
4.  He will judge between the nations
 +
::and will settle disputes for many peoples.
 +
::They will beat their swords into plowshares
 +
::and their spears into pruning hooks.
 +
::Nation will not take up sword against nation,
 +
::nor will they train for war anymore.
 +
 
 +
5.  Come, descendants of Jacob,
 +
::let us walk in the light of the Lord.
 +
::The Day of the Lord
 +
 
 +
6.  You, Lord, have abandoned your people,
 +
::the descendants of Jacob.
 +
::They are full of superstitions from the East;
 +
::they practice divination like the Philistines
 +
::and embrace pagan customs.
 +
 
 +
7.  Their land is full of silver and gold;
 +
::there is no end to their treasures.
 +
::Their land is full of horses;
 +
::there is no end to their chariots.
 +
 
 +
8.  Their land is full of idols;
 +
::they bow down to the work of their hands,
 +
::to what their fingers have made.
 +
 
 +
9.  So people will be brought low
 +
::and everyone humbled—
 +
::do not forgive them.[a]
 +
 
 +
10.  Go into the rocks, hide in the ground
 +
::from the fearful presence of the Lord
 +
::and the splendor of his majesty!
 +
 
 +
11.  The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled
 +
::and human pride brought low;
 +
::the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
 +
 
 +
12.  The Lord Almighty has a day in store
 +
::for all the proud and lofty,
 +
::for all that is exalted
 +
::(and they will be humbled),
 +
 
 +
13. for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty,
 +
::and all the oaks of Bashan,
 +
 
 +
14. for all the towering mountains
 +
::and all the high hills,
 +
 
 +
15. for every lofty tower
 +
::and every fortified wall,
 +
 
 +
16.  for every trading ship
 +
::and every stately vessel.
 +
 
 +
17. The arrogance of man will be brought low
 +
::and human pride humbled;
 +
::the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
 +
 
 +
18.  and the idols will totally disappear.
 +
 
 +
19. People will flee to caves in the rocks
 +
::and to holes in the ground
 +
::from the fearful presence of the Lord
 +
::and the splendor of his majesty,
 +
::when he rises to shake the earth.
 +
 
 +
20. In that day people will throw away
 +
::to the moles and bats
 +
::their idols of silver and idols of gold,
 +
::which they made to worship.
