Isaiah 2:1-5

The Exalted Mountain of the LORD and the Humbling of Human Pride

The chapter moves from future Zion hope, to a call to walk in the LORD’s light, to Judah’s present corruption, to the day when every proud thing is brought low, idols vanish, and the LORD alone is exalted.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

2In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

3And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.

5Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
