1This is the word revealed to Isaiah, son of Amoz, concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2In the last days, the mountain of Yahweh’s temple
will be raised up as the head of the mountains,
towering over all the hills.
A sparkling stream of every nation will flow into it.
3Many peoples will come and say,
“Everyone, come! Let’s go up higher to Yahweh’s mountain,
to the house of Jacob’s God; then he can teach us his ways
and we can walk in his paths!”
Zion will be the center of instruction,
and the word of Yahweh will go out from Jerusalem.
4He will judge fairly between the nations
and settle disputes among many peoples.
They will beat the swords they used against each other
into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.
No nation will take up weapons against another,
nor will they prepare for war anymore.
5O house of Jacob, come let us walk
in the wonderful light of Yahweh! The Judge of the Nations
6Lord, you have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob,
for they are full of occultic secrets from the east,
like the land of the Philistines, with sorcerers everywhere;
they are pleased with what is false and foreign.
7Their land overflows with gold and silver;
they are wealthy beyond measure.
Their land is filled with horses and innumerable chariots!
8Worthless idols are everywhere, and they worship
the work of their own hands, what their fingers have made.
9The people bow down low before the “no-gods,”
and the leaders lie down flat before them in worship,
so do not spare them!
10Enter into the rock and hide in the dust
from the dreadful presence of Yahweh
and from his majestic glory.
11The arrogant will be humbled
and the pride of man brought low.
Only one will be exalted in that day: Yahweh!
12The Lord of Angel Armies
has a day of humiliation in store for all the high and mighty,
for all who are proud and self-exalting.
They will be brought low.
13His judgment is coming
against all the lofty cedars of Lebanon and all the oaks of Bashan,
14against all the high mountains and all the lofty hills,
15against every high tower and every fortress wall,
16against all the trading ships of Tarshish
and all the impressive sailing vessels.
17People’s arrogance will be conquered and brought low,
and those proud of heart will be humiliated.
Only one will be exalted in that day: Yahweh!
18Every worthless idol will utterly pass away. The Coming Dread of God
19People will hide in caves and holes in the ground
from the dreadful presence of Yahweh
and from his majestic glory when he rises
to mightily shake the earth.
20In that day, people will throw away the worthless idols
their hands have made from gold and silver.
They will fling their treasures to the rodents and bats
21as they crawl into the clefts of the rock to hide from the
dreadful presence of Yahweh
and from the majesty of his glory
when he rises to shake the earth mightily!
22So once and for all, stop trusting in man,
who is but one breath from death—frail and puny man!
