CHAPTER 2
The Future House of God
Judgment on the Proud
(Mic. 4:1–5 )
​
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
​
2 ​​Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
​​That the mountain of the LORD’s house
​​Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
​​And shall be exalted above the hills;
​​And all nations shall flow to it.
3 ​​Many people shall come and say,
​​“Come, and 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 shall walk in His paths.”
​​For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
​​And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 ​​He shall judge between the nations,
​​And rebuke many people;
​​They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
​​And their spears into pruning hooks;
​​Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
​​Neither shall they learn war anymore.
The Day of the LORD
​
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 filled with eastern ways;
​​They are soothsayers like the Philistines,
​​And they are pleased with the children of foreigners.
7 ​​Their land is also 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 is also full of idols;
​​They worship the work of their own hands,
​​That which their own fingers have made.
9 ​​People bow down,
​​And each man humbles himself;
​​Therefore do not forgive them.
​
10 ​​Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust,
​​From the terror of the LORD
​​And the glory of His majesty.
11 ​​The lofty looks of man shall be humbled,
​​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 come upon everything proud and lofty,
​​Upon everything lifted up—
​​And it shall be brought low—
13 ​​Upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,
​​And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 ​​Upon all the high mountains,
​​And upon all the hills that are lifted up;
15 ​​Upon every high tower,
​​And upon every fortified wall;
16 ​​Upon all the ships of Tarshish,
​​And upon all the beautiful sloops.
17 ​​The loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
​​And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
​​The LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
18 ​​But the idols He shall utterly abolish.
​
19 ​​They shall go into the holes of the rocks,
​​And into the caves of the earth,
​​From the terror of the LORD
​​And the glory of His majesty,
​​When He arises to shake the earth mightily.
​
20 ​​In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver
​​And his idols of gold,
​​Which they made, each for himself to worship,
​​To the moles and bats,
21 ​​To go into the clefts of the rocks,
​​And into the crags of the rugged rocks,
​​From the terror of the LORD
​​And the glory of His majesty,
​​When He arises to shake the earth mightily.
​
22 ​​Sever yourselves from such a man,
​​Whose breath is in his nostrils;
​​For of what account is he?
