1The message that Amoz's son Isaiah received concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

1This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

2"It will come about in the last days that the mountain that is the LORD's Temple will be established as the highest of mountains, and will be raised above the hills; all the nations will stream to it.

2In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

3Many groups of people will come, commenting, "Come! Let's go up to the Temple of the God of Jacob, that they may teach us his ways. Then let's walk in his paths." "Instruction will proceed from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

3And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4He will judge between the nations, and will render verdicts for the benefit of many. "They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nations will not raise swords against nations, and they will not learn warfare anymore.

4Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.

5"You house of Jacob! Come! Let's live in the LORD's light.

5Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.

6For you have rejected your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with practices learned from the East and they are fortune-tellers like the Philistines. They cut deals with foreigners.

6For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

7Their land is filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; their land is filled with horses, and there is no end to their chariots.

7Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.

8Their land is filled with idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their own fingers have made.

8Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.

9"So mankind is humbled, each human being is brought low, and you won't forgive."

9So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled—do not forgive them!

10 "Go into the rocks! Hide in the dust to escape the terror of the LORD and to escape the glory of his majesty!

10Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.

11The haughty looks of mankind will be brought low, the lofty pride of human beings will be humbled, and the LORD alone will be exalted at that time.

11The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

12"For the LORD of the Heavenly Armies has reserved a time to oppose all who are proud and haughty, and the self-exalting— they will be humbled.

12For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted—it will be humbled—

13He will take his stand against all the cedars of Lebanon, against the proud and self-exalting; and against all the oaks of Bashan;

13against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,

14against all the high mountains, and against all the lofty hills;

14against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills,

15against every high tower, and against every fortified wall;

15against every high tower, against every fortified wall,

16against all the ships from Tarshish, and against all their impressive watercraft.

16against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel.

17"Humanity's haughtiness will be humbled, male arrogance will be brought low, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

17So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

18Their idols will utterly vanish.

18and the idols will vanish completely.

19"They will enter caverns in the rocks and holes in the ground to escape the presence of the terror of the LORD, to escape the splendor of his majesty when he arises to terrify the earth.

19Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

20At that time, mankind will throw their silver and gold idols that their fingers have made as objects of worship to the moles and to the bats.

20In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold—the idols they made to worship.

21They will enter caverns in the rocks and clefts in the cliffs, to escape the terror of the LORD and to escape the splendor of his majesty, when he arises to terrorize the earth.

21They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

22"Stop trusting in human beings, whose life breath is in their nostrils, for what are they really worth?"

22Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
