1The word which came to Esaias the son of Amos concerning Judea, and concerning Jerusalem.
1This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2For in the last daysthe mountain of the Lord shall be glorious, and the house of God [shall be] on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall come to it.
2It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of Yahweh’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
3And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will tell us his way, and we will walk in it: for out of Sion shall go forth the law , and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.
3Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law shall go out of Zion, and Yahweh’s word from Jerusalem.
4And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles: and nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.
4He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.
5House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of Yahweh.
6For he has forsaken his peoplethe house of Israel, because their land is filled as at the beginning with divinations, as the [land] of the Philistines, and many strange children were born to them.

7For their land is filled with silver and gold, and there was no number of their treasures; their land also is filled with horses, and there was no number of chariots.
7Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
8And the land is filled with abominations, [even] the works of their hands; and they have worshipped [the works] which their fingers made.
8Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
9And the mean man bowed down, and the great man was humbled: and I will not pardon them.
9Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.
