Context
The Future Glory of Jerusalem
2:1 Here is the message about Judah and Jerusalem that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz. 2:2 In the future the mountain of the Lord’s temple will endure as the most important of mountains, and will be the most prominent of hills. All the nations will stream to it, 2:3 many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain, to the temple of the God of Jacob, so he can teach us his requirements, and we can follow his standards.” For Zion will be the center for moral instruction; the Lord will issue edicts from Jerusalem. 2:4 He will judge disputes between nations; he will settle cases for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not take up the sword against other nations, and they will no longer train for war. 2:5 O descendants of Jacob, come, let us walk in the Lord’s guiding light.
The Lord’s Day of Judgment
2:6 Indeed, O Lord, you have abandoned your people, the descendants of Jacob. For diviners from the east are everywhere; they consult omen readers like the Philistines do. Plenty of foreigners are around. 2:7 Their land is full of gold and silver; there is no end to their wealth. Their land is full of horses; there is no end to their chariots. 2:8 Their land is full of worthless idols; they worship the product of their own hands, what their own fingers have fashioned. 2:9 Men bow down to them in homage, they lie flat on the ground in worship. Don’t spare them!
