| 1This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem: | 1This is a vision that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: |
| 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. | 2In the last days, the mountain of the LORD’s house will be the highest of all— the most important place on earth. It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship. |
| 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. | 3People from many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of Jacob’s God. There he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the LORD’s teaching will go out from Zion; his word will go out from Jerusalem. |
| 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. | 4The LORD will mediate between nations and will settle international disputes. They will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer fight against nation, nor train for war anymore. A Warning of Judgment |
| 5Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD. | 5Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD! |
| 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. | 6For the LORD has rejected his people, the descendants of Jacob, because they have filled their land with practices from the East and with sorcerers, as the Philistines do. They have made alliances with pagans. |
| 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. | 7Israel is full of silver and gold; there is no end to its treasures. Their land is full of warhorses; there is no end to its chariots. |
| 8Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made. | 8Their land is full of idols; the people worship things they have made with their own hands. |
| 9So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled—do not forgive them! | 9So now they will be humbled, and all will be brought low— do not forgive them. |
| 10Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty. | 10Crawl into caves in the rocks. Hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the glory of his majesty. |
| 11The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day. | 11Human pride will be brought down, and human arrogance will be humbled. Only the LORD will be exalted on that day of judgment. |
| 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— | 12For the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has a day of reckoning. He will punish the proud and mighty and bring down everything that is exalted. |
| 13against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan, | 13He will cut down the tall cedars of Lebanon and all the mighty oaks of Bashan. |
| 14against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills, | 14He will level all the high mountains and all the lofty hills. |
| 15against every high tower, against every fortified wall, | 15He will break down every high tower and every fortified wall. |
| 16against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel. | 16He will destroy all the great trading ships and every magnificent vessel. |
| 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, | 17Human pride will be humbled, and human arrogance will be brought down. Only the LORD will be exalted on that day of judgment. |
| 18and the idols will vanish completely. | 18Idols will completely disappear. |
| 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. | 19When the LORD rises to shake the earth, his enemies will crawl into holes in the ground. They will hide in caves in the rocks from the terror of the LORD and the glory of his majesty. |
| 20In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold—the idols they made to worship. | 20On that day of judgment they will abandon the gold and silver idols they made for themselves to worship. They will leave their gods to the rodents and bats, |
| 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. | 21while they crawl away into caverns and hide among the jagged rocks in the cliffs. They will try to escape the terror of the LORD and the glory of his majesty as he rises to shake the earth. |
| 22Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he? | 22Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they? |
