3And many people shall goe & say; Come yee and let vs go vp to the mountaine of the Lord, to the house of the God of Iacob, and he will teach vs of his wayes, and we will walke in his pathes: for out of Zion shall goe forth the lawe, and the word of the Lord from Ierusalem.Select Isaiah 2:3

4And hee shall iudge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beate their swords into plow-shares, and their speares into pruning hookes: nation shall not lift vp sword against nation, neither shall they learne warre any more.Select Isaiah 2:4

5O house of Iacob, come yee, and let vs walke in the light of the Lord.Select Isaiah 2:5

6Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Iacob; because they be replenished from the East, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselues in the children of strangers.Select Isaiah 2:6

7Their land also is full of siluer and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures: their land is also full of horses; neither is there any end of their charets.Select Isaiah 2:7

8Their land also is full of idoles: they worship the worke of their owne hands, that which their owne fingers haue made.Select Isaiah 2:8

9And the meane man boweth downe, and the great man humbleth himselfe; therefore forgiue them not.Select Isaiah 2:9

10Enter into the rocke, and hide thee in the dust, for feare of the Lord, and for the glory of his Maiestie.Select Isaiah 2:10

12For the day of the Lord of hostes shall bee vpon euery one that is proud and loftie, and vpon euery one that is lifted vp, and he shalbe brought low;Select Isaiah 2:12

13And vpon all the Cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted vp; and vpon all the okes of Bashan,Select Isaiah 2:13

14And vpon all the high mountaines, and vpon all the hilles that are lifted vp,Select Isaiah 2:14
