|
1. The word H1697 that H834 Isaiah H3470 the son H1121 of Amoz H531 saw H2372 concerning H5921 Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389 .

3. Many people will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. Then He will teach us about His ways, that we may walk in His paths. For the Law will go out from Zion, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem."
|
3. And many H7227 people H5971 shall go H1980 and say H559 , Come H1980 ye , and let us go up H5927 to H413 the mountain H2022 of the LORD H3068 , to H413 the house H1004 of the God H430 of Jacob H3290 ; and he will teach H3384 us of his ways H4480 H1870 , and we will walk H1980 in his paths H734 : for H3588 out of Zion H4480 H6726 shall go forth H3318 the law H8451 , and the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 from Jerusalem H4480 H3389 .

|
|
6. For You have left Your people, the family of Jacob, because they are filled with the sinful ways of the East. They use secret ways to tell the future like the Philistines. And they make agreements with the children of strangers.
|
6. Therefore H3588 thou hast forsaken H5203 thy people H5971 the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 , because H3588 they be replenished H4390 from the east H4480 H6924 , and are soothsayers H6049 like the Philistines H6430 , and they please themselves H5606 in the children H3206 of strangers H5237 .

|
7. Their land H776 also is full H4390 of silver H3701 and gold H2091 , neither H369 is there any end H7097 of their treasures H214 ; their land H776 is also full H4390 of horses H5483 , neither H369 is there any end H7097 of their chariots H4818 :
|
|
8. Their land is filled with false gods. They worship the work of their hands, that which their fingers have made.
|
8. Their land H776 also is full H4390 of idols H457 ; they worship H7812 the work H4639 of their own hands H3027 , that which H834 their own fingers H676 have made H6213 :
|
|
9. So pride has been taken away from the poor man, and important men have been put to shame. Do not forgive them.
|
9. And the mean man H120 boweth down H7817 , and the great man H376 humbleth H8213 himself : therefore forgive H5375 them not H408 .
|

|
|
11. The proud look of man will be put to shame. The pride of men will be taken away. And the Lord alone will be honored in that day.
|
11. The lofty H1365 looks H5869 of man H120 shall be humbled H8213 , and the haughtiness H7312 of men H376 shall be bowed down H7817 , and the LORD H3068 alone H905 shall be exalted H7682 in that H1931 day H3117 .
|
|
12. On that day the Lord of All will be against everyone who is proud and feels important, and against all who are honored. They will be put to shame.
|
12. For H3588 the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 shall be upon H5921 every H3605 one that is proud H1343 and lofty H7311 , and upon H5921 every H3605 one that is lifted up H5375 ; and he shall be brought low H8213 :
|
|
13. He will be against all the cedar trees of Lebanon that are tall and honored, and against all the oak trees of Bashan.
|
13. And upon H5921 all H3605 the cedars H730 of Lebanon H3844 , that are high H7311 and lifted up H5375 , and upon H5921 all H3605 the oaks H437 of Bashan H1316 ,
|
|
14. He will be against all the high mountains, against all the high hills,
|
14. And upon H5921 all H3605 the high H7311 mountains H2022 , and upon H5921 all H3605 the hills H1389 that are lifted up H5375 ,
|
|
15. against every high tower, and against every strong wall.
|
15. And upon H5921 every H3605 high H1364 tower H4026 , and upon H5921 every H3605 fenced H1219 wall H2346 ,
|
|
16. He will be against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the beautiful boats.
|
16. And upon H5921 all H3605 the ships H591 of Tarshish H8659 , and upon H5921 all H3605 pleasant H2532 pictures H7914 .
|
|
17. The pride of man will be taken away. What men honor will be put to shame. The Lord alone will be honored in that day.
|
17. And the loftiness H1365 of man H120 shall be bowed down H7817 , and the haughtiness H7312 of men H376 shall be made low H8213 : and the LORD H3068 alone H905 shall be exalted H7682 in that H1931 day H3117 .
|
|
18. All the false gods will be gone.
|
18. And the idols H457 he shall utterly H3632 abolish H2498 .
|
|
19. Men will go into the caves of the rocks and into holes of the earth because of the anger of the Lord and the shining-greatness of His power when He rises up to shake the earth.
|
19. And they shall go H935 into the holes H4631 of the rocks H6697 , and into the caves H4247 of the earth H6083 , for H4480 H6440 fear H6343 of the LORD H3068 , and for the glory H4480 H1926 of his majesty H1347 , when he ariseth H6965 to shake terribly H6206 the earth H776 .
|
|
20. In that day men will take their false gods of silver and gold which they made for themselves to worship and will throw them away to the moles and the bats.
|
20. In that H1931 day H3117 a man H120 shall cast H7993 H853 his idols H457 of silver H3701 , and his idols H457 of gold H2091 , which H834 they made H6213 each one for himself to worship H7812 , to the moles H2661 H6512 and to the bats H5847 ;
|
|
21. They will go into the caves of the rocks and mountains. They will try to hide from the anger of the Lord and from the shining-greatness of His power, when He rises up to shake the earth.
|
21. To go H935 into the clefts H5366 of the rocks H6697 , and into the tops H5585 of the ragged rocks H5553 , for H4480 H6440 fear H6343 of the LORD H3068 , and for the glory H4480 H1926 of his majesty H1347 , when he ariseth H6965 to shake terribly H6206 the earth H776 .
|
|
22. Stop trusting in man. He has only a breath in his nose. Why should he be honored?
|
22. Cease H2308 ye from H4480 man H120 , whose H834 breath H5397 is in his nostrils H639 : for H3588 wherein H4100 is he H1931 to be accounted H2803 of?
