And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning1 hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.
The Day of the Lord
Because they are filled awith eastern ways;
They are bsoothsayers like the Philistines,
cAnd they1 are pleased with the children of foreigners.
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land is also full of horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made.
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty.
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
And the Lord alone shall be exalted bin that day.
Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,
Upon everything lifted up—
And it shall be brought low—
And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
And into the caves of the1 earth,
bFrom the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises cto shake the earth mightily.
And his idols of gold,
Which they made, each for himself to worship,
To the moles and bats,
| << Isaiah 2:5 | Isaiah 2:7 >> |
