Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:2 - In the future the mountain of the LORD's temple will endure as the most important of mountains, and will be the most prominent of hills. All the nations will stream to it,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:3 - many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the LORD's mountain, to the temple of the God of Jacob, so he can teach us his requirements, and we can follow his standards."

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:9 - Men bow down to them in homage, they lie flat on the ground in worship. Don't spare them!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:10 - Go up into the rocky cliffs, hide in the ground. Get away from the dreadful judgment of the LORD, from his royal splendor!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:11 - Proud men will be brought low, arrogant men will be humiliated; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

A Day of Reckoning Coming

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:12 - Indeed, the LORD who commands armies has planned a day of judgment, for all the high and mighty, for all who are proud - they will be humiliated;
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:13 - for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are so high and mighty, for all the oaks of Bashan;
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:14 - for all the tall mountains, for all the high hills,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:21 - so they themselves can go into the crevices of the rocky cliffs and the openings under the rocky overhangs, trying to escape the dreadful judgment of the LORD and his royal splendor, when he rises up to terrify the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:22 - Stop trusting in human beings, whose life's breath is in their nostrils. For why should they be given special consideration?
