Isaiah 2

2
The Mountain of the Lord
1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 # For ver. 2-4, see Mic. 4:1-3 It shall come to pass in the latter days
that #ch. 14:13; 25:6 the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and shall be lifted up above the hills;
and #[ch. 56:7]all the nations shall flow to it,
3and #See Zech. 8:20-23 many peoples shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For #[Luke 24:47; John 4:22]out of Zion shall go forth the law,#2:3 Or teaching
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4He shall judge between the nations,
and shall decide disputes for many peoples;
# [Joel 3:10] and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
# ch. 9:7; Ps. 72:3, 7; Hos. 2:18; Zech. 9:10 nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore.
5O house of Jacob,
come, let us walk
in #ch. 60:1, 2; [Eph. 5:8]the light of the Lord.
The Day of the Lord
6For you have rejected your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are full of things #[2 Kgs. 16:10, 11] from the east
and #Mic. 5:12 of fortune-tellers #2 Kgs. 1:2 like the Philistines,
and they #[2 Kgs. 16:7, 8]strike hands with the children of foreigners.
7Their land is #ch. 39:2; [ch. 22:8, 11; Deut. 17:17] filled with silver and gold,
and there is no end to their treasures;
their land is #ch. 30:16; [Deut. 17:16; Mic. 5:10]filled with horses,
and there is no end to their chariots.
8Their land is #ver. 18, 20; ch. 10:10, 11; Jer. 2:28 filled with idols;
they bow down to #See ch. 44:9-17the work of their hands,
to what their own fingers have made.
9So man #ch. 5:15is humbled,
and each one #ch. 5:15is brought low—
do not forgive them!
10 # ver. 19, 21; [Rev. 6:15, 16] Enter into the rock
and hide in the dust
# Cited 2 Thess. 1:9 from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty.
11 # ver. 17; Ps. 18:27; [Mic. 2:3; 2 Cor. 10:5] The haughty looks of man shall be brought low,
and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
12 # [Job 40:11, 12; Mal. 4:1] For the Lord of hosts has a day
against all that is proud and lofty,
against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low;
13against all the #ch. 14:8; See Judg. 9:15 cedars of Lebanon,
lofty and lifted up;
and against all the #Ezek. 27:6; Zech. 11:2oaks of Bashan;
14against all #[ch. 30:25]the lofty mountains,
and against all the uplifted hills;
15against every high tower,
and against every fortified wall;
16against all #ch. 60:9; 1 Kgs. 10:22the ships of Tarshish,
and against all the beautiful craft.
17 # Ps. 18:27; [Mic. 2:3; 2 Cor. 10:5] And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,
and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
18 # ver. 8 And the idols shall utterly pass away.
19 # ver. 10; Hos. 10:8; Luke 23:30; Rev. 6:16 And people shall enter the caves of the rocks
and the holes of the ground,#2:19 Hebrew dust
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
# [Ps. 76:8, 9; Hab. 3:6] when he rises to terrify the earth.
20In that day #ch. 30:22; 31:7 mankind will cast away
their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
which they made for themselves to worship,
to the moles and to the #Lev. 11:19; Deut. 14:18bats,
21 # [See ver. 19 above] to enter the caverns of the rocks
and the clefts of the cliffs,
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
# [See ver. 19 above] when he rises to terrify the earth.
22 # Ps. 146:3 Stop regarding man
# Job 27:3; [James 4:14] in whose nostrils is breath,
for of what account is he?
