Chapter 2

1The word that Yeshayahu son of Amotz prophesied concerning Yehuda and Yerushalayim.

2In the days to come, The Mount of Hashem's House Shall stand firm above the mountains And tower above the hills; And all the nations Shall gaze on it with joy.

3And the many peoples shall go and say: “Come, Let us go up to the Mount of Hashem, To the House of the God of Yaakov; That He may instruct us in His ways, And that we may walk in His paths.” For instruction shall come forth from Tzion, The word of Hashem from Yerushalayim.

4Thus He will judge among the nations And arbitrate for the many peoples, And they shall beat their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks: Nation shall not take up Sword against nation; They shall never again know war.

6For you have forsaken [the ways of] your people, O House of Yaakov! For they are full [of practices] from the East, And of soothsaying like the Philistines; They abound in customs of the aliens.
