The Bible
Isaiah Chapter 2
1This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2In the latter days the mountain of ForeverOne
3Many peoples shall go and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of ForeverOne
4He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and 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.
5House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of ForeverOne
6For 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.
7Their 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.
8Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, what their own fingers have made.
9Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don't forgive them.
10Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of ForeverOne
11The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the haughtiness of men will be bowed down, and ForeverOne
12For there will be a day of ForeverOne
17The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and ForeverOne
18The idols shall utterly pass away.
19Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of ForeverOne
20In that day, men shall throw 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; 21To go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of ForeverOne
22Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
