2 NephiChapter12

v1.7

1 The word that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, when the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it.

3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and their spears into pruning-hooks—nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

5 O house of Jacob, come ye and let us walk in the light of the Lord; yea, come, for ye have all gone astray, every one to his wicked ways.

6 Therefore, O Lord, thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and hearken unto soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

7 Their 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.

8 Their land is also full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

9 And the mean man boweth not down, and the great man humbleth himself not, therefore, forgive him not.

10 O ye wicked ones, enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for the fear of the Lord and the glory of his majesty shall smite thee.

11 And it shall come to pass that 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 soon cometh upon all nations, yea, upon every one; yea, upon the proud and lofty, and upon every one who is lifted up, and he shall be brought low.

13 Yea, and the day of the Lord shall come upon all the cedars of Lebanon, for they are high and lifted up; and upon all the oaks of Bashan;

14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills, and upon all the nations which are lifted up, and upon every people;

15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall;

16 And upon all the ships of the sea, and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

17 And 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.

18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for the fear of the Lord shall come upon them and the glory of his majesty shall smite them, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which he hath made for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for the fear of the Lord shall come upon them and the majesty of his glory shall smite them, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?

The word that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sawconcerning Judah and Jerusalem:

In the last days,the mountain of the Lord's house will be establishedat the top of the mountains;it will be exalted above the hills,and all nations will flow to it.And many people will go and say:Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,to the house of the God of Jacob;he will teach us his ways,and we will walk in his paths.For out of Zion the law will go forth,and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.And he will judge among the nationsand will rebuke many people;and they will beat their swords into plowshares,and their spears into pruning-hooks:nation will not lift up sword against nation,nor will they learn war anymore.O house of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the Lord;yes, come, for you have all gone astray,every one to his wicked ways.

O wicked ones, go into the rock and hide in the dust,for the fear of the Lord and the glory of his majestywill strike you.And the lofty looks of man will be humbled,and the haughtiness of men will be bowed down,and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.For the day of the Lord of Hosts soon comes upon all nations,yes, upon every one;yes, upon the proud and lofty,and upon every one who is lifted up,and he will be brought low.

Yes, the day of the Lord will come upon all the cedars of Lebanon,for they are high and lifted up,and upon all the oaks of Bashan;and upon all the high mountains,and upon all the hills,and upon all the nations that are lifted up,and upon every people;and upon every high tower,and upon every fortified wall;and upon all the ships of the sea,and upon all the ships of Tarshish,and upon all pleasant pictures.

And the loftiness of man will be bowed down,and the haughtiness of men will be made low;and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.And the idolshe will utterly abolish.And they will go into the holes of the rocksand into the caves of the earth,for the fear of the Lord will come upon them,and the glory of his majesty will strike them,when he arises to shake the earth terribly.

In that day a man will throw his silver idols and his gold idols,which he has made for himself to worship,to the moles and to the bats,and go into the clefts of the rocksand into the tops of the jagged rocks,for the fear of the Lord will come upon them,and the majesty of his glory will strike them,when he arises to shake the earth terribly.Turn away from man, whose breath is in his nostrils;for of what account is he?
