\c 2
|
|

|
\p
|
|
\v 1 This is a message that Yahweh gave to Isaiah son of Amoz, in a vision about Judah and Jerusalem.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 In the future, the hill on which Yahweh's temple is built
|
|
\q2 will be the most important place on the earth.
|
|
\q2 It will be as though it is the highest mountain,
|
|
\q1 as though it has been raised up above all other hills,
|
|
\q2 and people from all over the world will come there.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 3 People from many people groups will say to each other,
|
|
\q1 "Come, let us go up to the hill,
|
|
\q2 to the temple of Yahweh,
|
|
\q2 to worship the God whom Jacob worshiped.
|
|
\q1 There he will teach us what he desires us to know,
|
|
\q2 in order that our behavior will please him."
|
|
\q1 They will teach us in Jerusalem;
|
|
\q2 we will learn there what Yahweh desires to tell us.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Yahweh will listen to the disputes between nations,
|
|
\q2 and he will settle their arguments.
|
|
\q1 Then, instead of fighting against each other, they will hammer their swords into plow blades,
|
|
\q2 and they will hammer their spears into pruning knives.
|
|
\q1 The armies of the nations will no longer fight against each other,
|
|
\q2 and they will not even train men to fight in battles.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 You descendants of Jacob,
|
|
\q2 let us behave in the way that we should because Yahweh is with us!
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Yahweh, you have abandoned us, your people
|
|
\q2 who are descendants of Jacob,
|
|
\q1 because everywhere your people practice the customs of people who live east of Israel.
|
|
\q2 They also perform rituals to find out what will happen in the future, like the people in Philistia do.
|
|
\q2 They make agreements with foreigners who do not know Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 Israel is full of silver and gold;
|
|
\q2 there are very many treasures here.
|
|
\q1 The land is full of war horses
|
|
\q2 and war chariots.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 But the land is also full of idols;
|
|
\q2 the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 So now they will be humbled;
|
|
\q2 Yahweh will disgrace them.
|
|
\q2 Yahweh, do not forgive them!
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 All you people should crawl into the caves in the rock cliffs!
|
|
\q2 You should hide in pits in the ground
|
|
\q2 because you will be afraid of Yahweh
|
|
\q2 and of his glorious and awesome power.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Yahweh will cause you people to no longer be arrogant
|
|
\q2 and he will stop you from being proud.
|
|
\q1 On that day people will praise and honor only Yahweh.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Yahweh, Commander of the angel armies, has chosen a day
|
|
\q2 when he will judge those who are proud, every one of them,
|
|
\q2 and he will humble them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 He will get rid of all those who think others should admire them, like the tall cedar trees in Lebanon,
|
|
\q2 and like all the great oak trees in the region of Bashan.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 He will get rid of all those who think they are as great as all the high hills,
|
|
\q2 as great as the high mountains.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 He will get rid of all those who think that they are like high towers
|
|
\q2 and high strong walls inside of which they are safe.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 He will destroy all those who are rich because they own big ships that carry goods to other countries
|
|
\q2 and own other beautiful ships, too.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 He will cause people to no longer be arrogant,
|
|
\q2 and he will cause them to stop being proud.
|
|
\q2 On that day people will praise and honor only Yahweh.
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 18 All idols will disappear then.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 When Yahweh comes to terrify the people on the earth,
|
|
\q2 they will run to hide in caves in rock cliffs
|
|
\q1 and in holes in the ground,
|
|
\q2 because they are afraid of Yahweh
|
|
\q2 and of his glorious and awesome power.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 On that day, people will get rid of all their gold and silver idols
|
|
\q2 that they made to worship,
|
|
\q1 and they will throw them to the bats and rats.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 Then they will crawl into caves
|
|
\q2 and hide in holes in the cliffs.
|
|
\q1 They will try to escape from Yahweh, who is coming to punish them;
|
|
\q2 They will fear what he will do because he is glorious and awesome,
|
|
\q2 when he comes to come to terrify the people on the earth.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 22 So do not trust that people will save you,
|
|
\q2 because they are as powerless as a person's breath.
|
|
\q1 People certainly cannot help you!
