Isaiah 2

1 The worde that Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sawe vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.

The word, which was revealed to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2 It shall be in the last dayes, that the mountaine of the house of the Lord shalbe prepared in the top of the mountaines, and shall be exalted aboue the hilles, and all nations shall flowe vnto it.

It shall come to pass in the last days, That the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established at the head of the mountains, And exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow unto it.

3 And many people shall go, and say, Come, and let vs go vp to the mountaine of the Lord, to the house of the God of Iaakob, and hee will teach vs his wayes, and we will walke in his paths: for the Lawe shall go foorth of Zion, and the worde of the Lord from Ierusalem,

And many kingdoms shall go, and shall say, “Come, let us go to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us his ways, And that we may walk in his paths!” For from Zion shall go forth a law, And the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

4 And he shall iudge among the nations, and rebuke many people: they shall breake their swords also into mattocks, and their speares into siethes: nation shall not lift vp a sworde against nation, neither shall they learne to fight any more.

He shall be a judge of the nations, And an umpire of many kingdoms; And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, And their spears into pruning-hooks; Nation shall not lift up the sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war any more.

5 O house of Iaakob, come ye, and let vs walke in the Lawe of the Lord.

O house of Jacob, come ye, And let us walk in the light of Jehovah!

6 Surely thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Iaakob, because they are full of the East maners, and are sorcerers as the Philistims, and abound with strange children.

For thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, Because they are full of the East, And are sorcerers, like the Philistines, And strike hands with a foreign race!

7 Their land also was full of siluer and golde, and there was none ende of their treasures: and their land was full of horses, and their charets were infinite.

Their land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures; Their land is full of horses, And there is no end to their chariots;

8 Their land also was full of idols: they worshipped the worke of their owne hands, which their owne fingers haue made.

Their land is full of idols; They bow down to the work of their own hands, To that which their own fingers have made.

9 And a man bowed himselfe, and a man humbled himselfe: therefore spare them not.

Therefore shall the mean man be bowed down, And the great man be brought low; And thou wilt not forgive them!

10 Enter into the rocke, and hide thee in the dust from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie.

Go into the rock, hide yourselves in the dust, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty!

11 The hie looke of man shall be humbled, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord onely shall be exalted in that day.

The proud looks of man shall be humbled, And the loftiness of mortals shall be brought low; Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.

12 For the day of the Lord of hostes is vpon all the proude and hautie, and vpon all that is exalted: and it shalbe made lowe.

For Jehovah of hosts holdeth a day of judgment Against all that is proud and lofty; Against all that is exalted, and it shall be brought low;

13 Euen vpon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are hie and exalted, and vpon all the okes of Bashan,

Against all the cedars of Lebanon, the high and the exalted, And against all the oaks of Bashan;

14 And vpon all the hie mountaines, and vpon all the hilles that are lifted vp,

Against all the lofty mountains, And against all the high hills;

15 And vpon euery hie tower, and vpon euery strong wall,

Against every lofty tower, And against every high wall;

16 And vpon all the shippes of Tarshish, and vpon all pleasant pictures.

Against all the ships of Tarshish, And against all their beautiful flags.

17 And the hautinesse of men shalbe brought low, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord shall onely be exalted in that day.

The pride of man shall be humbled; The loftiness of mortals shall be brought low; Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.

18 And the idoles will he vtterly destroy.

The idols shall wholly pass away;

19 Then they shall goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the caues of the earth, from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall arise to destroy the earth.

And men shall go into clefts of the rocks, and caves of the earth, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty, When he ariseth to make the earth tremble.

20 At that day shall man cast away his siluer idoles, and his golden idoles (which they had made themselues to worship them) to the mowles and to the backes,

At that time shall men cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which they have made to worship, To the moles and the bats;

21 To goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the toppes of the ragged rockes from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall rise to destroy the earth.

Fleeing into caves of the rocks, and clefts of the craggy rocks, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty, When he ariseth to make the earth tremble.

22 Cease you from the man whose breath is in his nostrels: for wherein is he to be esteemed?

Trust, then, no more in man, Whose breath is in his nostrils! For what account is to be made of him!
