Isaiah 2:1–9
1This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.↗
2It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.↗
3Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the 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 the law shall go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem.↗
4He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.↗
5House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of the LORD.↗
6For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.↗
7Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.↗
8Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.↗
9Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.↗
