Esias 2
1 The word which came to Esaias the son of Amos concerning Judea, and concerning Jerusalem.
The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 For in the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be glorious, and the house of God [shall be] on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall come to it.
And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, Established is the mount of Jehovah's house, Above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And flowed unto it have all the nations.
3 And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will tell us his way, and we will walk in it: for out of Sion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.
And gone have many peoples and said, 'Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles: and nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.
And He hath judged between the nations, And hath given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation doth not lift up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn any more — war.
5 And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.
O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of Jehovah.'
6 For he has forsaken his people the house of Israel, because their land is filled as at the beginning with divinations, as the [land] of the Philistines, and many strange children were born to them.
For Thou hast left Thy people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And with the children of strangers strike hands.
7 For their land is filled with silver and gold, and there was no number of their treasures; their land also is filled with horses, and there was no number of chariots.
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 the land is filled with abominations, [even] the works of their hands; and they have worshipped [the works] which their fingers made.
And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made,
9 And the mean man bowed down, and the great man was humbled: and I will not pardon them.
And the low boweth down, and the high is humbled, And Thou acceptest them not.
10 Now therefore enter you into the rocks, and hide yourselves in the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency.
11 For the eyes of the Lord are high, but man is low; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and haughty, and upon every one that is high and towering, and they shall be brought down;
For a day [is] to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
13 and upon every cedar of Libanus, of them that are high and towering, and upon every oak of Basan,
And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
14 and upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill,
And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
15 and upon every high tower, and upon every high wall,
And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall,
16 and upon every ship of the sea, and upon every display of fine ships.
And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
17 And every man shall be brought low, and the pride of men shall fall: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
18 And they shall hide all [idols] made with hands,
And the idols — they completely pass away.
19 having carried [them] into the caves, and into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
20 For in that day a man shall cast forth his silver and gold abominations, which they made [in order] to worship vanities and bats;
In that day doth man cast 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 the caverns of the solid rock, and into the clefts of the rocks, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
Cease for you from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For — in what is he esteemed?
