The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 27: Isaias: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Isaiah
All nations shall flow to the church of Christ. The Jews shall be
rejected for their sins. Idolatry shall be destroyed.
2:1. The word that Isaias the son of Amos saw, concerning Juda and
Jerusalem.
2:2. And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be
prepared on the top of mountains, and it shall be exalted above the
hills, and all nations shall flow unto it.
The last days... The whole time of the new law, from the coming of
Christ till the end of the world, is called in the scripture the last
days; because no other age or time shall come after it, but only
eternity.-Ibid. On the top of mountains, etc... This shews the perpetual
visibility of the church of Christ: for a mountain upon the top of
mountains cannot be hid.
2:3. And many people shall go, and say: Come and let us go up to the
mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will
teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall come
forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
2:4. And he shall judge the Gentiles, and rebuke many people: and they
shall turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into
sickles: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall
they be exercised any more to war.
2:5. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the
Lord.
2:6. For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob: because they
are filled as in times past, and have had soothsayers as the
Philistines, and have adhered to strange children.
2:7. Their land is filled with silver and gold: and there is no end of
their treasures.
2:8. And their land is filled with horses: and their chariots are
innumerable. Their land also is full of idols: they have adored the work
of their own hands, which their own fingers have made.
2:9. And man hath bowed himself down, and man hath been debased:
therefore forgive them not.
2:10. Enter thou into the rock, and hide thee in the pit from the face
of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.
2:11. The lofty eyes of man are humbled, and the haughtiness of men
shall be made to stoop: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
2:12. Because the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that
is proud and highminded, and upon every one that is arrogant, and he
shall be humbled.
2:13. And upon all the tall and lofty cedars of Libanus, and upon all
the oaks of Basan.
2:14. And upon all the high mountains and upon all the elevated hills.
2:15. And upon every high tower, and every fenced wall.
2:16. And upon all the ships of Tharsis, and upon all that is fair to
behold.
2:17. And the loftiness of men shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness
of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that
day.
2:18. And idols shall be utterly destroyed.
