1The vision that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

2In the last days the mountain of the LORD's house will be established at the top of the mountains and will be raised above the hills. All nations will stream to it,

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 about His ways so that we may walk in His paths." For instruction will go out of Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4He will settle disputes among the nations and provide arbitration for many peoples. They will turn their swords into plows and their spears into pruning knives. Nations will not take up the sword against other nations, and they will never again train for war.

5House of Jacob, come and let us walk in the LORD's light.

6For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of divination from the East and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines. They are in league with foreigners.

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

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

9So humanity is brought low, and man is humbled. Do not forgive them!

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

11Human pride will be humbled, and the loftiness of men will be brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted on that day.

12For a day belonging to the LORD of Hosts is coming against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up--it will be humbled--

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

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

15against every high tower, against every fortified wall,

16against every ship of Tarshish, and against every splendid sea vessel.

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

18The idols will vanish completely.

19People will go into caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from His majestic splendor, when He rises to terrify the earth.

20On that day people will throw their silver and gold idols, which they made to worship, to the moles and the bats.

21They will go into the caves of the rocks and the crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from His majestic splendor, when He rises to terrify the earth.

22Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. What is he really worth?
