1 T his is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw about Judah and Jerusalem that was coming:

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

2 I n the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be the most important of the mountains. It will be raised above the hills. All the nations will come to it.

And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

3 M any people will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. Then He will teach us about His ways, that we may walk in His paths. For the Law will go out from Zion, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”

And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

4 H e will judge between the nations, and will decide for many people. And they will beat their swords into plows, and their spears into knives for cutting vines. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and they will not learn about war anymore. The Day of the Lord

And he will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and 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 C ome, people of Jacob. Let us walk in the light of the Lord.

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.

6 F or You have left Your people, the family of Jacob, because they are filled with the sinful ways of the East. They use secret ways to tell the future like the Philistines. And they make agreements with the children of strangers.

For thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

7 T heir land is filled with silver and gold. There is no end to their riches. Their land is filled with horses also. And there is no end to their war-wagons.

And their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.

8 T heir land is filled with false gods. They worship the work of their hands, that which their fingers have made.

Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

9 S o pride has been taken away from the poor man, and important men have been put to shame. Do not forgive them.

And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low: therefore forgive them not.

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty.

The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.

12 O n that day the Lord of All will be against everyone who is proud and feels important, and against all who are honored. They will be put to shame.

For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low;

13 H e will be against all the cedar trees of Lebanon that are tall and honored, and against all the oak trees of Bashan.

14 H e will be against all the high mountains, against all the high hills,

and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

15 a gainst every high tower, and against every strong wall.

and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified wall,

16 H e will be against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the beautiful boats.

and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant imagery.

17 T he pride of man will be taken away. What men honor will be put to shame. The Lord alone will be honored in that day.

And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.

18 A ll the false gods will be gone.

And the idols shall utterly pass away.

19 M en will go into the caves of the rocks and into holes of the earth because of the anger of the Lord and the shining-greatness of His power when He rises up to shake the earth.

And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.

20 I n that day men will take their false gods of silver and gold which they made for themselves to worship and will throw them away to the moles and the bats.

In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver, and their idols of gold, which have been made for them to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

21 T hey will go into the caves of the rocks and mountains. They will try to hide from the anger of the Lord and from the shining-greatness of His power, when He rises up to shake the earth.

22 S top trusting in man. He has only a breath in his nose. Why should he be honored?

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?
