Old Testament

New Testament

Isaiah 2:5-16 New International Version (NIV)

5. Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the Lord.

6. You, Lord, have abandoned your people, the descendants of Jacob. They are full of superstitions from the East; they practice divination like the Philistines and embrace pagan customs.

7. Their land is full of silver and gold; there is no end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses; there is no end to their chariots.

8. Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.

9. So people will be brought low and everyone humbled— do not forgive them.

10. Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty!

11. The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled and human pride brought low; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

12. The Lord Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),

13. for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty, and all the oaks of Bashan,

14. for all the towering mountains and all the high hills,

15. for every lofty tower and every fortified wall,

16. for every trading ship and every stately vessel.
