LEB ISA chapter 2

The Mountain of Yahweh

2 The word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

2 the mountain of the house[fn] of Yahweh shall be established;
it will be among the highest[fn] of the mountains,
- and it shall be raised from the hills.
All of the nations shall travel to him;
3  And they shall say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh,
- to the house[fn] of the God of Jacob,
and may he teach us part of his ways,
- and let us walk in his paths.”
For instruction shall go out from Zion,
- and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
- 4  and he shall arbitrate for many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into ploughshares
- and their spears into pruning hooks.
A nation shall not lift up a sword against a nation,
- and they shall not learn war again.

The Day of Yahweh

6 because they are full[fn] from the east,
- and of soothsayers like the Philistines,
- and[fn] with the offspring of foreigners.
- 7 with silver and gold, and there is no end to its treasures;
and its land is filled with horses,
- and there is no end to its chariots.
- 8 with idols; they bow down to the work of their[fn] hands,
- to what they made with their[fn] fingers.
- 9 everyone is humbled,
- and you must not forgive them.
- 10  and hide yourself in the dust
from the presence of the terror of Yahweh
- and from the glory of his majesty.
- 11 [fn] of humanity will[fn] be brought low, and the pride of everyone will be humbled,
and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.
- 12 there is a day for Yahweh of hosts against all of the proud and the lofty
- and against all that is lifted up and humble,[fn]
- 13  and against all the large trees of Bashan,
- 14  and against all the lofty hills,
- 15  and against every kind of fortified wall,
- 16  and against all the ships of desire.
- 17  and the pride of everyone shall be brought low,
and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.

from the presence of the terror of Yahweh
- and from the glory of his majesty
[fn] to terrify the earth.
- 20  and its idols of gold,
  - which they made for it to worship,
- to the rodents[fn] and to the bats—
- 21  and into the clefts of the crags
from the presence of the terror of Yahweh
- and from the glory of his majesty,
[fn] to terrify the earth.
- 22  who has breath in its nostrils,[fn]
for by[fn] what is it esteemed?
