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?

Isaiah 2 (BYZ)

[1] ο λογος ο γενομενος παρα κυριου προς ησαιαν υιον αμως περι της ιουδαιας και περι ιερουσαλημ
[2] οτι εσται εν ταις εσχαταις ημεραις εμφανες το ορος κυριου και ο οικος του θεου επ ακρων των ορεων και υψωθησεται υπερανω των βουνων και ηξουσιν επ αυτο παντα τα εθνη
[3] και πορευσονται εθνη πολλα και ερουσιν δευτε και αναβωμεν εις το ορος κυριου και εις τον οικον του θεου ιακωβ και αναγγελει ημιν την οδον αυτου και πορευσομεθα εν αυτη εκ γαρ σιων εξελευσεται νομος και λογος κυριου εξ ιερουσαλημ
[4] και κρινει ανα μεσον των εθνων και ελεγξει λαον πολυν και συγκοψουσιν τας μαχαιρας αυτων εις αροτρα και τας ζιβυνας αυτων εις δρεπανα και ου λημψεται ετι εθνος επ εθνος μαχαιραν και ου μη μαθωσιν ετι πολεμειν
[5] και νυν ο οικος του ιακωβ δευτε πορευθωμεν τω φωτι κυριου
[6] ανηκεν γαρ τον λαον αυτου τον οικον του ισραηλ οτι ενεπλησθη ως το απ αρχης η χωρα αυτων κληδονισμων ως η των αλλοφυλων και τεκνα πολλα αλλοφυλα εγενηθη αυτοις
[7] ενεπλησθη γαρ η χωρα αυτων αργυριου και χρυσιου και ουκ ην αριθμος των θησαυρων αυτων και ενεπλησθη η γη ιππων και ουκ ην αριθμος των αρματων αυτων
[8] και ενεπλησθη η γη βδελυγματων των εργων των χειρων αυτων και προσεκυνησαν οις εποιησαν οι δακτυλοι αυτων
[9] και εκυψεν ανθρωπος και εταπεινωθη ανηρ και ου μη ανησω αυτους
[10] και νυν εισελθετε εις τας πετρας και κρυπτεσθε εις την γην απο προσωπου του φοβου κυριου και απο της δοξης της ισχυος αυτου οταν αναστη θραυσαι την γην
[11] οι γαρ οφθαλμοι κυριου υψηλοι ο δε ανθρωπος ταπεινος και ταπεινωθησεται το υψος των ανθρωπων και υψωθησεται κυριος μονος εν τη ημερα εκεινη
[12] ημερα γαρ κυριου σαβαωθ επι παντα υβριστην και υπερηφανον και επι παντα υψηλον και μετεωρον και ταπεινωθησονται
[13] και επι πασαν κεδρον του λιβανου των υψηλων και μετεωρων και επι παν δενδρον βαλανου βασαν
[14] και επι παν ορος και επι παντα βουνον υψηλον
[15] και επι παντα πυργον υψηλον και επι παν τειχος υψηλον
[16] και επι παν πλοιον θαλασσης και επι πασαν θεαν πλοιων καλλους
[17] και ταπεινωθησεται πας ανθρωπος και πεσειται υψος ανθρωπων και υψωθησεται κυριος μονος εν τη ημερα εκεινη
[18] και τα χειροποιητα παντα κατακρυψουσιν
[19] εισενεγκαντες εις τα σπηλαια και εις τας σχισμας των πετρων και εις τας τρωγλας της γης απο προσωπου του φοβου κυριου και απο της δοξης της ισχυος αυτου οταν αναστη θραυσαι την γην
[20] τη γαρ ημερα εκεινη εκβαλει ανθρωπος τα βδελυγματα αυτου τα αργυρα και τα χρυσα α εποιησαν προσκυνειν τοις ματαιοις και ταις νυκτερισιν
[21] του εισελθειν εις τας τρωγλας της στερεας πετρας και εις τας σχισμας των πετρων απο προσωπου του φοβου κυριου και απο της δοξης της ισχυος αυτου οταν αναστη θραυσαι την γην
