Isaiah 2 (WEBP)

[1] This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
[2] It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of Yahweh’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.
[3] Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh, 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 Yahweh’s word from Jerusalem.
[4] He 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.
[5] House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of Yahweh.
[6] For 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.
[7] Their 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.
[8] Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
[9] Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.
[10] Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty.
[11] The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.
[12] For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low—
[13] for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
[14] for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
[15] for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
[16] for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
[17] The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
[18] The idols shall utterly pass away.
[19] Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
[20] In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
[21] to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
[22] Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?

[22] Cease () ye from man , whose breath [is] in his nostrils : for wherein is he to be accounted of ()?

Young’s Literal Translation

Isaiah 2 (YLT)

[1] The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
[2] And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, Established is the mount of Jehovah’s house, Above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And flowed unto it have all the nations.
[3] And gone have many peoples and said, ‘Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
[4] And He hath judged between the nations, And hath given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation doth not lift up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn any more-war.
[5] O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of Jehovah.’
[6] For Thou hast left Thy people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And are sorcerers like the Philistines, And with the children of strangers strike hands.
[7] And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,
[8] And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made,
[9] And the low boweth down, and the high is humbled, And Thou acceptest them not.
[10] Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency.
[11] The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
[12] For a day is to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
[13] And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
[14] And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
[15] And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall,
[16] And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
[17] And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
[18] And the idols-they completely pass away.
[19] And men have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
[20] In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
[21] To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
[22] Cease for you from man, Whose breath is in his nostrils, For-in what is he esteemed?
