A Message for Judah and Jerusalem

The message that Amoz’s son Isaiah received[a] concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

“It will come about in the last days
    that the mountain that is the Lord’s Temple will be established
        as the highest of mountains,[b]
and will be raised above the hills;
    all the nations will stream to[c] it.
Many groups of people[d] will come, commenting,
    “Come! Let’s go up to[e] the Temple of the God of Jacob,
that they[f] may teach us his ways.
    Then let’s walk in his paths.”

The Rule of God from Jerusalem

“Instruction[g] will proceed from Zion,
    and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
