1:24. Therefore saith the Lord the God of hosts, the mighty one of Israel: Ah! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be revenged of my enemies. 1:25. And I will turn my hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dross, and I will take away all thy tin. 1:26. And I will restore thy judges as they were before, and thy counsellors as of old. After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a faithful city. 1:27. Sion shall be redeemed in judgment, and they shall bring her back in justice. 1:28. And he shall destroy the wicked, and the sinners together: and they that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed. 1:29. For they shall be confounded for the idols, to which they have sacrificed: and you shall be ashamed of the gardens which you have chosen. 1:30. When you shall be as an oak with the leaves falling off, and as a garden without water. 1:31. And your strength shall be as the ashes of tow, and your work as a spark: and both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench it. Isaias Chapter 2 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.
