< Isaiah 2 >

1 This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר חָזָה יְשַֽׁעְיָהוּ בֶּן־אָמוֹץ עַל־יְהוּדָה וִירֽוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃
2 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
וְהָיָה ׀ בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים נָכוֹן יִֽהְיֶה הַר בֵּית־יְהֹוָה בְּרֹאשׁ הֶהָרִים וְנִשָּׂא מִגְּבָעוֹת וְנָהֲרוּ אֵלָיו כׇּל־הַגּוֹיִֽם׃
3 And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
וְֽהָלְכוּ עַמִּים רַבִּים וְאָֽמְרוּ לְכוּ ׀ וְנַעֲלֶה אֶל־הַר־יְהֹוָה אֶל־בֵּית אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב וְיֹרֵנוּ מִדְּרָכָיו וְנֵלְכָה בְּאֹרְחֹתָיו כִּי מִצִּיּוֹן תֵּצֵא תוֹרָה וּדְבַר־יְהֹוָה מִירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃
4 Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.
וְשָׁפַט בֵּין הַגּוֹיִם וְהוֹכִיחַ לְעַמִּים רַבִּים וְכִתְּתוּ חַרְבוֹתָם לְאִתִּים וַחֲנִיתֽוֹתֵיהֶם לְמַזְמֵרוֹת לֹא־יִשָּׂא גוֹי אֶל־גּוֹי חֶרֶב וְלֹֽא־יִלְמְדוּ עוֹד מִלְחָמָֽה׃
5 Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
בֵּית יַעֲקֹב לְכוּ וְנֵלְכָה בְּאוֹר יְהֹוָֽה׃
6 For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.
כִּי נָטַשְׁתָּה עַמְּךָ בֵּית יַעֲקֹב כִּי מָֽלְאוּ מִקֶּדֶם וְעֹנְנִים כַּפְּלִשְׁתִּים וּבְיַלְדֵי נׇכְרִים יַשְׂפִּֽיקוּ׃
7 Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.
וַתִּמָּלֵא אַרְצוֹ כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב וְאֵין קֵצֶה לְאֹצְרֹתָיו וַתִּמָּלֵא אַרְצוֹ סוּסִים וְאֵין קֵצֶה לְמַרְכְּבֹתָֽיו׃
8 Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.
וַתִּמָּלֵא אַרְצוֹ אֱלִילִים לְמַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו יִֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַאֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ אֶצְבְּעֹתָֽיו׃
9 So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled— do not forgive them!
וַיִּשַּׁח אָדָם וַיִּשְׁפַּל־אִישׁ וְאַל־תִּשָּׂא לָהֶֽם׃
10 Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.
בּוֹא בַצּוּר וְהִטָּמֵן בֶּעָפָר מִפְּנֵי פַּחַד יְהֹוָה וּמֵהֲדַר גְּאֹנֽוֹ׃
11 The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
עֵינֵי גַּבְהוּת אָדָם שָׁפֵל וְשַׁח רוּם אֲנָשִׁים וְנִשְׂגַּב יְהֹוָה לְבַדּוֹ בַּיּוֹם הַהֽוּא׃
12 For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted— it will be humbled—
כִּי יוֹם לַיהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת עַל כׇּל־גֵּאֶה וָרָם וְעַל כׇּל־נִשָּׂא וְשָׁפֵֽל׃
13 against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,
וְעַל כׇּל־אַרְזֵי הַלְּבָנוֹן הָרָמִים וְהַנִּשָּׂאִים וְעַל כׇּל־אַלּוֹנֵי הַבָּשָֽׁן׃
14 against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills,
וְעַל כׇּל־הֶהָרִים הָרָמִים וְעַל כׇּל־הַגְּבָעוֹת הַנִּשָּׂאֽוֹת׃
15 against every high tower, against every fortified wall,
וְעַל כׇּל־מִגְדָּל גָּבֹהַּ וְעַל כׇּל־חוֹמָה בְצוּרָֽה׃
16 against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel.
וְעַל כׇּל־אֳנִיּוֹת תַּרְשִׁישׁ וְעַל כׇּל־שְׂכִיּוֹת הַחֶמְדָּֽה׃
17 So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
וְשַׁח גַּבְהוּת הָאָדָם וְשָׁפֵל רוּם אֲנָשִׁים וְנִשְׂגַּב יְהֹוָה לְבַדּוֹ בַּיּוֹם הַהֽוּא׃
18 and the idols will vanish completely.
וְהָאֱלִילִים כָּלִיל יַחֲלֹֽף׃
19 Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
וּבָאוּ בִּמְעָרוֹת צֻרִים וּבִמְחִלּוֹת עָפָר מִפְּנֵי פַּחַד יְהֹוָה וּמֵהֲדַר גְּאוֹנוֹ בְּקוּמוֹ לַעֲרֹץ הָאָֽרֶץ׃
20 In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold— the idols they made to worship.
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יַשְׁלִיךְ הָאָדָם אֵת אֱלִילֵי כַסְפּוֹ וְאֵת אֱלִילֵי זְהָבוֹ אֲשֶׁר עָֽשׂוּ־לוֹ לְהִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֺת לַחְפֹּר פֵּרוֹת וְלָעֲטַלֵּפִֽים׃
21 They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
לָבוֹא בְּנִקְרוֹת הַצֻּרִים וּבִסְעִפֵי הַסְּלָעִים מִפְּנֵי פַּחַד יְהֹוָה וּמֵהֲדַר גְּאוֹנוֹ בְּקוּמוֹ לַעֲרֹץ הָאָֽרֶץ׃
22 Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
חִדְלוּ לָכֶם מִן־הָאָדָם אֲשֶׁר נְשָׁמָה בְּאַפּוֹ כִּֽי־בַמֶּה נֶחְשָׁב הֽוּא׃
