2 And it will be - at [the] end of the days established it will be [the] mountain of [the] house of Yahweh [the] chief of the mountains and lifted up more than [the] hills and they will stream to it all the nations.
And it will come about in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and all nations will come to it.
3 And they will come peoples many and they will say come - so we may go up to [the] mountain of Yahweh to [the] house of [the] God of Jacob so he may teach us of ways his so we may walk in paths his for from Zion it will go forth instruction and [the] word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
And the peoples will say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will give us knowledge of his ways, and we will be guided by his word; for out of Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 And he will judge between the nations and he will decide for peoples many and they will beat swords their plowshares and spears their pruning knives not it will lift up nation against nation sword and not they will learn again warfare.
And he will be the judge between the nations, and the peoples will be ruled by his decisions: and their swords will be turned into plough-blades, and their spears into vine-knives: no longer will the nations be turning their swords against one another, and the knowledge of war will be gone for ever.
5 O house of Jacob come so let us walk in [the] light of Yahweh.
O family of Jacob, come, and let us go in the light of the Lord.
6 For you have abandoned people your [the] house of Jacob for they are full from [the] east and soothsayers like the Philistines and with [the] children of foreigners they clap hands.
For you, O Lord, have given up your people, the family of Jacob, because they are full of the evil ways of the east, and make use of secret arts like the Philistines, and are friends with the children of strange countries.

12 For a day [belongs] to Yahweh of hosts on every proud [thing] and lofty [thing] and on every [thing] lifted up and [it will be] low.
For the day of the Lord of armies is coming on all the pride of men, and on all who are high and lifted up;
13 And on all [the] cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and which are lifted up and on all [the] oaks of Bashan.
And on all the high trees of Lebanon, and on all the strong trees of Bashan;
14 And on all the mountains that are lofty and on all the hills that are lifted up.
And on all the high mountains, and on all the hills which are lifted up;
15 And on every tower high and on every wall fortified.
And on every high tower, and on every strong wall;
16 And on all [the] ships of Tarshish and on all [the] ships of desire.
And on all the ships of Tarshish, and on all the fair boats.

18 And the idols completely it will pass away.
And the images will never be seen again.
19 And people will go in caves of [the] rocks and in holes of [the] ground from before [the] dread of Yahweh and from [the] splendor of majesty his when arises he to terrify the earth.
And men will go into cracks of the rocks, and into holes of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.
20 In the day that it will throw away humankind [the] idols of silver its and [the] idols of gold its which they made for himself to bow down to [the] digging of moles and to the bats.
In that day men will put their images of silver and of gold, which they made for worship, in the keeping of the beasts of the dark places;
21 To go in [the] crevices of the rocks and in [the] clefts of the cliffs from before [the] dread of Yahweh and from [the] splendor of majesty his when arises he to terrify the earth.
To take cover in the cracks of the rocks, and in the holes of the hills, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.
22 Cease yourselves from humankind whom breath [is] in nostril[s] his for how? to be accounted [is] he.
Have no more to do with man, whose life is only a breath, for he is of no value.
