- Kapitel 2 -

(Micah 4:1–5)
1
The worde that Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sawe vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.
2
It shall be in the last dayes, that the mountaine of the house of the Lord shalbe prepared in the top of the mountaines, and shall be exalted aboue the hilles, and all nations shall flowe vnto it.
3
And many people shall go, and say, Come, and let vs go vp to the mountaine of the Lord, to the house of the God of Iaakob, and hee will teach vs his wayes, and we will walke in his paths: for the Lawe shall go foorth of Zion, and the worde of the Lord from Ierusalem,
4
And he shall iudge among the nations, and rebuke many people: they shall breake their swords also into mattocks, and their speares into siethes: nation shall not lift vp a sworde against nation, neither shall they learne to fight any more.

The Day of Reckoning

5
O house of Iaakob, come ye, and let vs walke in the Lawe of the Lord.
6
Surely thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Iaakob, because they are full of the East maners, and are sorcerers as the Philistims, and abound with strange children.
7
Their land also was full of siluer and golde, and there was none ende of their treasures: and their land was full of horses, and their charets were infinite.
8
Their land also was full of idols: they worshipped the worke of their owne hands, which their owne fingers haue made.
9
And a man bowed himselfe, and a man humbled himselfe: therefore spare them not.
10
Enter into the rocke, and hide thee in the dust from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie.
11
The hie looke of man shall be humbled, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord onely shall be exalted in that day.
12
For the day of the Lord of hostes is vpon all the proude and hautie, and vpon all that is exalted: and it shalbe made lowe.
13
Euen vpon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are hie and exalted, and vpon all the okes of Bashan,
14
And vpon all the hie mountaines, and vpon all the hilles that are lifted vp,
15
And vpon euery hie tower, and vpon euery strong wall,
16
And vpon all the shippes of Tarshish, and vpon all pleasant pictures.
17
And the hautinesse of men shalbe brought low, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord shall onely be exalted in that day.
18
And the idoles will he vtterly destroy.
19
Then they shall goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the caues of the earth, from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall arise to destroy the earth.
20
At that day shall man cast away his siluer idoles, and his golden idoles (which they had made themselues to worship them) to the mowles and to the backes,
21
To goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the toppes of the ragged rockes from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall rise to destroy the earth.
22
Cease you from the man whose breath is in his nostrels: for wherein is he to be esteemed?
(Micah 4:1–5)
1
This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2
It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’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.
3
Many peoples shall go and say,Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, 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 the LORD’s word from Jerusalem.
4
He 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.

The Day of Reckoning

5
House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of the LORD.
6
For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
7
Their 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.
8
Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
9
Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.
10
Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
11
The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
12
For there will be a day of the LORD of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low
13
for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
14
for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
15
for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
16
for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
17
The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18
The idols shall utterly pass away.
19
Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
20
In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
21
to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
22
Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
