New Testament

Isaiah 2:5-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. O house of Jacob, come,and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

6. For You have forsaken Your people,the house of Jacob,because they are replenished from the east,and are soothsayers like the Philistines,and they please themselves with the children of strangers.

7. Their land also is full of silver and gold,and there is no end to their treasures;their land is also full of horses,and there is no end to 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. And the common man bows down,and the great man humbles himself;therefore, do not forgive them.

10. Enter into the rock,and hide in the dustfrom the fear of the Lordand from the glory of His majesty.

11. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled,and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

12. For the day of the Lord of Hosts shall beupon everything that is proud and lofty,and upon everything that is lifted up,and it shall be brought low;

13. and it will be upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

14. and upon all the high mountains,and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

15. and upon all the high towers,and upon every fenced wall,

16. and upon all the ships of Tarshish,and upon all pleasant sloops.

17. The loftiness of man shall be humbled,and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;the Lord alone will be exalted in that day;
