Isaiah 2 New International Version (NIV)

The Mountain of the Lord^(A)

2 This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:^(B)

²In the last days^(C)

the mountain^(D) of the Lord’s temple will be established
as the highest of the mountains;^(E)
it will be exalted^(F) above the hills,
and all nations will stream to it.^(G)

³Many peoples^(H) will come and say,

“Come, let us go^(I) up to the mountain^(J) of the Lord,
    to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
    so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law^(K) will go out from Zion,
    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.^(L)
⁴He will judge^(M) between the nations
    and will settle disputes^(N) for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks.^(O)
Nation will not take up sword against nation,^(P)
    nor will they train for war anymore.

⁵Come, descendants of Jacob,^(Q)
let us walk in the light^(R) of the Lord.

The Day of the Lord

⁶You, Lord, have abandoned^(S) your people,
    the descendants of Jacob.^(T)
They are full of superstitions from the East;
    they practice divination^(U) like the Philistines^(V)
    and embrace^(W) pagan customs.^(X)
⁷Their land is full of silver and gold;^(Y)
    there is no end to their treasures.^(Z)
Their land is full of horses;^(AA)
    there is no end to their chariots.^(AB)
⁸Their land is full of idols;^(AC)
    they bow down^(AD) to the work of their hands,^(AE)
    to what their fingers^(AF) have made.
⁹So people will be brought low^(AG)
    and everyone humbled^(AH)—
    do not forgive them.^[a]^(AI)

¹⁰Go into the rocks, hide^(AJ) in the ground
    from the fearful presence of the Lord
    and the splendor of his majesty!^(AK)
¹¹The eyes of the arrogant^(AL) will be humbled^(AM)
    and human pride^(AN) brought low;^(AO)
the Lord alone will be exalted^(AP) in that day.^(AQ)

¹²The Lord Almighty has a day^(AR) in store
    for all the proud^(AS) and lofty,^(AT)
for all that is exalted^(AU)
    (and they will be humbled),^(AV)
¹³for all the cedars of Lebanon,^(AW) tall and lofty,^(AX)
    and all the oaks of Bashan,^(AY)
¹⁴for all the towering mountains
    and all the high hills,^(AZ)
¹⁵for every lofty tower^(BA)
    and every fortified wall,^(BB)
¹⁶for every trading ship^[b]^(BC)
    and every stately vessel.
¹⁷The arrogance of man will be brought low^(BD)
    and human pride humbled;^(BE)
the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,^(BF)
¹⁸    and the idols^(BG) will totally disappear.^(BH)

¹⁹People will flee to caves^(BI) in the rocks
    and to holes in the ground^(BJ)
from the fearful presence^(BK) of the Lord
    and the splendor of his majesty,^(BL)
    when he rises to shake the earth.^(BM)
²⁰In that day^(BN) people will throw away
    to the moles and bats^(BO)
their idols of silver and idols of gold,^(BP)
    which they made to worship.^(BQ)
²¹They will flee to caverns in the rocks^(BR)
    and to the overhanging crags
from the fearful presence of the Lord
    and the splendor of his majesty,^(BS)
    when he rises^(BT) to shake the earth.^(BU)

²²Stop trusting in mere humans,^(BV)
who have but a breath^(BW) in their nostrils.
Why hold them in esteem?^(BX)
