II. 1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2 And it shall come to pass in the end of the days, the mountain of the ’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

3 And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up tothe mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4 And he shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

6 For thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the East, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and strike hands with the children of aliens.

7 And their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; and their land is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:

8 And their land is full of false gods: they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

9 And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low; and forgive them not.

10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the fear of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.

11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

12 For the LORD of Hosts hath a day upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

15 And upon every lofty tower, and upon every fenced wall,

16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all images of desire;

17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

18 And the false gods—the whole shall pass away.

19 And they shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the dust, from before the fear of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.

20 In that day a man shall cast his false gods of silver, and his false gods of gold, which they made for him to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
