Isaiah, Chapter 2

¹ The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

Now it will come about that
In the last days
The mountain of the house of the LORD
Will be established^aas the chief of the mountains,
And will be raised above the hills;
And all the nations will stream to it.

And 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;
That He may teach us^bconcerning His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For the^claw will go forth from Zion
And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

⁴

And He will judge between the nations,
And will^drender decisions for many peoples;
And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
And never again will they learn war.

⁵

Come, house of Jacob, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

⁶

For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled with influences from the east,
And they are soothsayers like the Philistines,
And they strike bargains with the children of foreigners.

⁷

Their land has also been filled with silver and gold
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land has also been filled with horses
And there is no end to their chariots.

⁸

Their land has also been filled with idols;
They worship the work of their hands,
That which their fingers have made.

⁹

So the common man has been humbled
And the man of importance has been abased,
But do not forgive them.

¹⁰

Enter the rock and hide in the dust
From the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty.

¹¹

The^eproud look of man will be abased
And the loftiness of man will be humbled,
And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

¹²

For the LORD of hosts will have a day of reckoning
Against everyone who is proud and lofty
And against everyone who is lifted up,
That he may be abased.

¹³

And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up,
Against all the oaks of Bashan,

¹⁴

Against all the lofty mountains,
Against all the hills that are lifted up,

¹⁵

Against every high tower,
Against every fortified wall,

¹⁶

Against all the ships of Tarshish
And against all the beautiful craft.

¹⁷

The pride of man will be humbled
And the loftiness of men will be abased;
And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

¹⁸

But the idols will completely vanish.

¹⁹

Men will go into caves of the rocks
And into holes of the^fground
Before the terror of the LORD
And the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to make the earth tremble.

²⁰

In that day men will cast away to the moles and the bats
Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
Which they made for themselves to worship,

²¹

In order to go into the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs
Before the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to make the earth tremble.

²²

^gStop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils;
For^hwhy should he be esteemed?

Isaiah, Chapter 3

For behold, the Lord^aGOD of hosts is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah
Both^bsupply and support, the whole^csupply of bread
And the whole^dsupply of water;

The mighty man and the warrior,
The judge and the prophet,
The diviner and the elder,

The captain of fifty and the honorable man,
The counselor and the expert artisan,
And the skillful enchanter.

⁴

And I will make mere lads their princes,
And^ecapricious children will rule over them,

⁵

And the people will be oppressed,
Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor;
The youth will storm against the elder
And the inferior against the honorable.

⁶

When a man lays hold of his brother in his father’s house, saying,
“You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler,
And these ruins will be under your^fcharge,”

⁷

He will^gprotest on that day, saying,
“I will not be your^hhealer,
For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
You should not appoint me ruler of the people.”

⁸

For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen,
Because theirⁱspeech and their actions are against the LORD,
To rebel against^jHis glorious presence.

⁹

^kThe expression of their faces bears witness against them,
And they display their sin like Sodom;
They do not even conceal it.
Woe to^lthem!
For they have brought evil on themselves.

¹⁰

Say to the righteous that it will go well with them,
For they will eat the fruit of their actions.

¹¹

Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him,
For^mwhat he deserves will be done to him.

¹²

O My people! Their oppressorsⁿare children,
And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray
And confuse the direction of your paths.

¹³

The LORD arises to contend,
And stands to judge the people.

¹⁴

The LORD enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people,
“It is you who have devoured the vineyard;
The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

¹⁵

“What do you mean by crushing My people
And grinding the face of the poor?”
Declares the Lord^oGOD of hosts.

¹⁶

Moreover, the LORD said, “Because the daughters of Zion are proud
And walk with^pheads held high and seductive eyes,
And go along with mincing steps
And tinkle the bangles on their feet,

¹⁷

Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs,
And the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”

¹⁸ In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments, ¹⁹ dangling earrings, bracelets, veils, ²⁰ headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets, ²¹ ^qfinger rings, nose rings, ²² festal robes, outer tunics, cloaks, money purses, ²³ hand mirrors, undergarments, turbans and veils.

²⁴

Now it will come about that instead of^rsweet perfume there will be putrefaction;
Instead of a belt, a rope;
Instead of well-set hair, a plucked-out scalp;
Instead of fine clothes, a donning of sackcloth;
And branding instead of beauty.

²⁵

Your men will fall by the sword
And your^smighty ones in battle.

²⁶

And her^tgates will lament and mourn,
And deserted she will sit on the ground.

Isaiah, Chapter 4

¹ For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!”

² In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors of Israel. ³ It will come about that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy—everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem. ⁴ When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and^apurged the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning, ⁵ then the LORD will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy. ⁶ There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and^bprotection from the storm and the rain.

Isaiah, Chapter 5

Let me sing now for my well-beloved
A song of my beloved concerning His vineyard.
My well-beloved had a vineyard on^aa fertile hill.

He dug it all around, removed its stones,
And planted it with^bthe choicest vine.
And He built a tower in the middle of it
And also hewed out a^cwine vat in it;
Then He expected it to produce good grapes,
But it produced only^dworthless ones.

“And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
Judge between Me and My vineyard.

⁴

“What more was there to do for My vineyard^ethat I have not done in it?
Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes did it produce^fworthless ones?

⁵

“So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard:
I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed;
I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground.

⁶

“I will lay it waste;
It will not be pruned or hoed,
But briars and thorns will come up.
I will also charge the clouds to rain no rain on it.”

⁷

For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel
And the men of Judah His delightful plant.
Thus He looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed;
For righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.

⁸

Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field,
Until there is no more room,
So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land!

⁹

In my ears the LORD of hosts has sworn, “Surely, many houses shall become desolate,
Even great and fine ones, without occupants.

¹⁰

“For ten acres of vineyard will yield only one^gbath of wine,
And a homer of seed will yield but an^hephah of grain.”

¹¹

Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue strong drink,
Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!

¹²

Their banquets are accompanied by lyre and harp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine;
But they do not pay attention to the deeds of the LORD,
Nor do they consider the work of His hands.

¹³

Therefore My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge;
Andⁱtheir honorable men are famished,
And their multitude is parched with thirst.

¹⁴

Therefore Sheol has enlarged its^jthroat and opened its mouth without measure;
And^kJerusalem’s splendor, her multitude, her din of revelry and the jubilant within her, descend into it.

¹⁵

So the common man will be humbled and the man of importance abased,
The eyes of the proud also will be abased.

¹⁶

But the LORD of hosts will be exalted in judgment,
And the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.

¹⁷

Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture,
And strangers will eat in the waste places of the^lwealthy.

¹⁸

Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of^mfalsehood,
And sin as if with cart ropes;

¹⁹

Who say, “Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it;
And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near
And come to pass, that we may know it!”

²⁰

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Whoⁿsubstitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who^osubstitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

²¹

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight!

²²

Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine
And valiant men in mixing strong drink,

²³

Who justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away the^prights of the ones who are in the right!

²⁴

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubble
And dry grass collapses into the flame,
So their root will become like rot and their blossom^qblow away as dust;
For they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

²⁵

On this account the anger of the LORD has burned against His people,
And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them down.
And the mountains quaked, and their corpses^rlay like refuse in the middle of the streets.
For all this His anger^sis not spent,
But His hand is still stretched out.

²⁶

He will also lift up a standard to the^tdistant nation,
And will whistle for it from the ends of the earth;
And behold, it will come with speed swiftly.

²⁷

No one in it is weary or stumbles,
None slumbers or sleeps;
Nor is the belt at its waist undone,
Nor its sandal strap broken.

²⁸

^uIts arrows are sharp and all its bows are bent;
The hoofs of its horses^vseem like flint and its chariot wheels like a whirlwind.

²⁹

Its roaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions;
It growls as it seizes the prey
And carries it off with no one to deliver it.

³⁰

And it will growl over it in that day like the roaring of the sea.
If one looks to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress;
Even the light is darkened by its clouds.
