2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2:2 And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of Jehovah’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

2:3 And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, 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 Jehovah from Jerusalem.

2:4 And he will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and 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 any more.

2:5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.

2:6 For thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

2:7 And their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.

2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

2:9 And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low: therefore forgive them not.

2:10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty.

2:11 The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.

2:12 For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low;

2:13 and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

2:14 and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

2:15 and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified wall,

2:16 and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant imagery.

2:17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.

2:18 And the idols shall utterly pass away.

2:19 And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.

2:20 In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver, and their idols of gold, which have been made for them to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

2:21 to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.

2:22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?

74:12 Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.

74:13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.

74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

74:15 Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: Thou driedst up mighty rivers.

74:16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter.

74:18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.

74:19 Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.

74:20 Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.

74:21 Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise thy name.

74:22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.

74:23 Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.

9:6 But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

9:7 Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:

9:9 as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.

9:10 And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

9:11 ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

9:12 For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God;

9:13 seeing that through the proving of you by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution unto them and unto all;

9:14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.

9:15 Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.
