(KJV) Isaiah 2¹

⥃The Mountain of the House of the LORD ^{[ Micah 4:1–5 ]}

[1] The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw² concerning Judah and Jerusalem. [2] And it shall³ come to pass in the last⁴ days, [that] the mountain⁵ of the Lord’s house shall be established⁶ in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all⁷ nations shall flow unto it. [3] And many people shall go and say, Come ye⁸, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach⁹ us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out¹⁰ of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. [4] And he¹¹ shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they¹² shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks¹³: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither¹⁴ shall they learn war any more.

⥃The Day of Reckoning

[5] O house of Jacob, come ye¹⁵, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

[6] Therefore¹⁶ thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east¹⁷, and [are¹⁸] soothsayers like the Philistines, and they¹⁹ please themselves in²⁰ the children of strangers. [7] Their land²¹ also is full of silver and gold, neither [is there any] end of their treasures; their land is²² also full of horses, neither [is there any] end of their chariots: [8] Their land also is full²³ of idols; they worship²⁴ the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: [9] And the mean²⁵ man boweth down, and the great man humbleth²⁶ himself: therefore²⁷ forgive them not.

[10] Enter²⁸ into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear²⁹ of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty. [11] The lofty³⁰ looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord³¹ alone shall be exalted in that day³². [12] For the day³³ of the Lord of hosts [shall be] upon³⁴ every [one that is] proud and lofty, and upon every [one that is] lifted up; and he shall be brought low: [13] And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, [that are] high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,³⁵ [14] And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills [that are] lifted up,³⁶ [15] And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, [16] And upon all the ships³⁷ of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures³⁸. [17] And the loftiness³⁹ of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. [18] And the idols⁴⁰ he shall utterly abolish⁴¹. [19] And they⁴² shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth⁴³, for fear⁴⁴ of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he⁴⁵ ariseth to shake terribly the earth. [20] In that day a man shall cast⁴⁶ his idols of silver⁴⁷, and his idols of gold, which they made [each one] for himself to⁴⁸ worship, to the moles and to the bats; [21] To go⁴⁹ 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 ariseth to shake terribly the earth. [22] Cease⁵⁰ ye from man, whose⁵¹ breath [is] in his nostrils: for wherein⁵² is he to be accounted of?
