Isaiah 2:1–8

¹This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz 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.

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.

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.

⁵Come, O house 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.

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 full of idols;

they bow down to the work of their hands,

to what their fingers have made.
