Isaiah 2:6-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
6For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, Because they are filled with influences from the east, And they are soothsayers like the Philistines. They also strike bargains with the children of foreigners. 7Their land has also been filled with silver and gold And there is no end to their treasures; Their land has also been filled with horses, And there is no end to their chariots. 8Their land has also been filled with idols; They worship the work of their hands, That which their fingers have made. 9So the common person has been humbled And the person of importance has been brought low, But do not forgive them. 10Enter the rocky place and hide in the dust From the terror of the Lord and from the splendor of His majesty. 11The proud look of humanity will be brought low, And the arrogance of people will be humbled; And the Lord alone will be exalted on that day. 12For the Lord of armies will have a day of reckoning Against everyone who is arrogant and haughty, And against everyone who is lifted up, That he may be brought low. 13And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up, Against all the oaks of Bashan, 14Against all the lofty mountains, Against all the hills that are lifted up, 15Against every high tower, Against every fortified wall, 16Against all the ships of Tarshish And against all the delightful ships. 17And the pride of humanity will be humbled And the arrogance of people will be brought low; And the Lord alone will be exalted on that day,King James Version
Chapter 2
6Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. 7Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also 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, that which their own fingers have made: 9And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
11The 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.
12For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
13And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
17And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

Chapter 2
6For you have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of divination from the East and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines. They are in league with foreigners. 7Their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, and there is no limit to their chariots. 8Their land is full of worthless idols; they worship the work of their hands, what their fingers have made. 9So humanity is brought low, and each person is humbled. Do not forgive them! 10Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the Lord and from his majestic splendor.
11The pride of mankind will be humbled, and human loftiness will be brought low; the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.
12For a day belonging to the Lord of Armies is coming against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up--it will be humbled --
13against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,
14against all the high mountains, against all the lofty hills,
15against every high tower, against every fortified wall,
16against every ship of Tarshish, and against every splendid sea vessel.
17The pride of mankind will be brought low, and human loftiness will be humbled; the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
6For the Lord has rejected his people, the descendants of Jacob, because they have filled their land with practices from the East and with sorcerers, as the Philistines do. They have made alliances with pagans. 7Israel is full of silver and gold; there is no end to its treasures. Their land is full of warhorses; there is no end to its chariots. 8Their land is full of idols; the people worship things they have made with their own hands. 9So now they will be humbled, and all will be brought low — do not forgive them. 10Crawl into caves in the rocks. Hide in the dust from the terror of the Lord and the glory of his majesty. 11Human pride will be brought down, and human arrogance will be humbled. Only the Lord will be exalted on that day of judgment.
12For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has a day of reckoning. He will punish the proud and mighty and bring down everything that is exalted.
13He will cut down the tall cedars of Lebanon and all the mighty oaks of Bashan.
14He will level all the high mountains and all the lofty hills.
15He will break down every high tower and every fortified wall.
16He will destroy all the great trading ships and every magnificent vessel.
17Human pride will be humbled, and human arrogance will be brought down. Only the Lord will be exalted on that day of judgment.

Chapter 2
6For you have rejected your people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of things from the east and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of foreigners. 7Their land is filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; their land is filled with horses, and there is no end to their chariots. 8Their land is filled with idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their own fingers have made. 9So man is humbled, and each one is brought low— do not forgive them! 10Enter into the rock and hide in the dust from before the terror of the LORD, and from the splendor of his majesty. 11The haughty looks of man shall be brought low, and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day. 12For the LORD of hosts has a day against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low; 13against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up; and against all the oaks of Bashan; 14against all the lofty mountains, and against all the uplifted hills; 15against every high tower, and against every fortified wall; 16against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the beautiful craft. 17And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled, and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.New International Version
Chapter 2
6You, 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. 7Their 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. 8Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.
9So people will be brought low and everyone humbled-- do not forgive them.
10Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty!
11The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled and human pride brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
12The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),
13for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty, and all the oaks of Bashan,
14for all the towering mountains and all the high hills,
15for every lofty tower and every fortified wall,
16for every trading ship and every stately vessel.
17The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
New King James Version
