  • 2:4 He will be judge between the nations and settle the cases of many peoples. They will hammer their swords into plow blades and their spears into knives for pruning. No nation will raise the sword against another, and they will no longer learn how to wage war. 6
  • 2:17 Humankind's pride will be bent down, people's lofty airs laid low, and on that day the LORD alone will be lifted high. 3
  • 2:3 Peoples in great numbers will set out, saying, "Come, let us climb to the mountain of the LORD, up to the house of Jacob's God, so that he may show us his ways and we may walk on his paths." For instruction will go out from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 2
  • 2:10 Get into the rocks! Bury yourself in the dust, away from the dread of the LORD and from his majestic splendor! 2
  • 2:11 The arrogant gaze of humankind will be lowered, people's lofty pride will be bent down, and on that day the LORD alone will be lifted high. 2
  • 2:12 For the LORD of Armies has set a day against everything proud and towering, against everything raised high, and it will be brought down, 2
  • 2:13 against all the cedars of Lebanon, high and towering, and against all the oaks of Bashan, 2
  • 2:14 against all the towering mountains, against all the hills raised high, 2
  • 2:15 against every tall tower, against every wall built strong, 2
  • 2:16 against all the ships of Tarshish, and against every splendid vessel. 2
  • 2:18 As for the idols, they will be gone, every one. 2
  • 2:21 so that they can creep into the cracks of the rocks and the crevices of the crags, away from the dread of the LORD and from his majestic splendor, when he rises up to make the earth shudder. 2
  • 2:1 This is the word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw about Judah and Jerusalem. 1
  • 2:8 Idols fill their land too. They worship things their own hands produced, objects shaped by their own fingers. 1
  • 2:19 People will crawl into caves in the rock and pits in the ground, away from the dread of the LORD and from his majestic splendor, when he rises up to make the earth shudder. 1
  • 2:20 On that day people will fling away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, made for them to bow down to, out to the moles and the bats, 1
  • 2:22 Have done with humankind, who live by a breath in the nostrils, for what are they worth? 1
