Everlasting Peace

2Here is the message which God gave to Isaiah son of Amoz about Judah and Jerusalem:H1697H3470H1121H531H2372H3063H3389 2In days to come the mountain where the Temple stands will be the highest one of all, towering above all the hills. Many nations will come streaming to it,H319H3117H2022H3068H1004H3559H7218H2022H5375H1389H1471H5102 3and their people will say, "Let us go up the hill of the LORD, to the Temple of Israel's God. He will teach us what he wants us to do; we will walk in the paths he has chosen. For the LORD's teaching comes from Jerusalem; from Zion he speaks to his people."H7227H5971H1980H559H3212H5927H2022H3068H1004H430H3290H3384H1870H3212H734H6726H3318H8451H1697H3068H3389 4He will settle disputes among great nations. They will hammer their swords into plows and their spears into pruning knives. Nations will never again go to war, never prepare for battle again.H8199H1471H3198H7227H5971H3807H2719H855H2595H4211H1471H5375H2719H1471H3925H4421 5Now, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light which the LORD gives us!H1004H3290H3212H3212H216H3068

Arrogance Will Be Destroyed

6O God, you have forsaken your people, the descendants of Jacob! The land is full of magic practices from the East and from Philistia. The people follow foreign customs.H5203H5971H1004H3290H4390H6924H6049H6430H5606H3206H5237 7Their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses, and there is no end to their chariots.H776H4390H3701H2091H7097H214H776H4390H5483H7097H4818 8Their land is full of idols, and they worship objects that they have made with their own hands.H776H4390H457H7812H4639H3027H676H6213 9Everyone will be humiliated and disgraced. Do not forgive them, LORD!H120H7817H376H8213H5375 10They will hide in caves in the rocky hills or dig holes in the ground to try to escape from the LORD's anger and to hide from his power and glory!H935H6697H2934H6083H6440H6343H3068H1926H1347 11A day is coming when human pride will be ended and human arrogance destroyed. Then the LORD alone will be exalted.H1365H5869H120H8213H7312H582H7817H3068H7682H3117 12On that day the LORD Almighty will humble everyone who is powerful, everyone who is proud and conceited.H3117H3068H6635H1343H7311H5375H8213 13He will destroy the tall cedars of Lebanon and all the oaks in the land of Bashan.H730H3844H7311H5375H437H1316 14He will level the high mountains and hills,H7311H2022H1389H5375 15every high tower, and the walls of every fortress.H1364H4026H1219H2346 16He will sink even the largest and most beautiful ships.H591H8659H2532H7914 17Human pride will be ended, and human arrogance will be destroyed.H1365H120H7817H7312H582H8213H3068H7682H3117 18Idols will completely disappear, and the LORD alone will be exalted on that day.H457H3632H2498 19People will hide in caves in the rocky hills or dig holes in the ground to try to escape from the LORD's anger and to hide from his power and glory, when he comes to shake the earth.H935H4631H6697H4247H6083H6440H6343H3068H1926H1347H6965H6206H776 20When that day comes, they will throw away the gold and silver idols they have made, and abandon them to the moles and the bats.H3117H120H7993H457H3701H457H2091H6213H7812H2661H6512H5847 21When the LORD comes to shake the earth, people will hide in holes and caves in the rocky hills to try to escape from his anger and to hide from his power and glory.H935H5366H6697H5585H5553H6440H6343H3068H1926H1347H6965H6206H776 22Put no more confidence in mortals. What are they worth?H2308H120H5397H639H2803
