The Book of the Prophet Isaiah

Literal Standard Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 2 -

(Micah 4:1–5)
1
The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2
And it has come to pass, || In the latter end of the days, || The mountain of YHWH’s house is established, || Above the top of the mountains, || And it has been lifted up above the heights, || And all the nations have flowed to it.
3
And many peoples have gone and said, “Come, and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, || To the house of the God of Jacob, || And He teaches us of His ways, || And we walk in His paths, || For a law goes forth from Zion, || And a word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
4
And He has judged between the nations, || And has given a decision to many peoples, || And they have beat their swords to plowshares, || And their spears to pruning-hooks, || Nation does not lift up sword to nation, || Nor do they learn anymorewar.

The Day of Reckoning

5
O house of Jacob, come, || And we walk in the light of YHWH.”
6
For You have left Your people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, || And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, || And strike hands with the children of strangers.
7
And 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,
8
And its land is full of idols, || It bows itself to the work of its hands, || To that which its fingers have made,
9
And the low bows down, and the high is humbled, || And You do not accept them.
10
Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, || Because of the fear of YHWH, || And because of the honor of His excellence.
11
The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, || And the loftiness of men has been bowed down, || And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
12
For a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, || For every proud and high one, || And for every lifted up and low one,
13
And for all cedars of Lebanon, || The high and the exalted ones, || And for all oaks of Bashan,
14
And for all the high mountains, || And for all the exalted heights,
15
And for every high tower, || And for every fortified wall,
16
And for all ships of Tarshish, || And for all desirable pictures.
17
And the haughtiness of man has been bowed down, || And the loftiness of men humbled, || And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
18
And the idols—they completely pass away.
19
And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, || And into caves of dust, || Because of the fear of YHWH, || And because of the honor of His excellence, || In His rising to terrify the earth.
20
In that day man casts his idols of silver, || And his idols of gold, || That they have made for him to worship, || To moles, and to bats,
21
To enter into cavities of the rocks, || And into clefts of the high places, || Because of the fear of YHWH, || And because of the honor of His excellence, || In His rising to terrify the earth.
22
Cease yourselves from man, || Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, || Forin what is he esteemed?
(Micah 4:1–5)
1
This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2
It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
3
Many peoples shall go and say,Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law shall go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem.
4
He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. 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.

The Day of Reckoning

5
House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of the LORD.
6
For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
7
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
Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
9
Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.
10
Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
11
The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
12
For there will be a day of the LORD of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low
13
for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
14
for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
15
for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
16
for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
17
The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18
The idols shall utterly pass away.
19
Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
20
In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
21
to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
22
Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
