Iz 2, 1-22

1 the word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, 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 the LORD from Jerusalem. 4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. 6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. 7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: 8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. 10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. 11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: 13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, 15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, 16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. 17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish. 19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; 21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?

Verš 11

The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

Iz 5:15 - And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

Verš 2

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Mi 4:1 - But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

Verš 3

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, 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 the LORD from Jerusalem.

Ž 110:2 - The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

Verš 4

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Joe 3:10 - Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

Iz 2,1 - Hlavy 2 – 4 sú súvislým celkom s mesiášskym začiatkom (2,2–5) a mesiášskym zakončením (4,2–6). Toto proroctvo nachádza sa skoro doslovne aj u proroka Micheáša (4,1–3), ktorý bol Izaiášovým vrstovníkom. Dnes už nemožno s istotou vedieť, či ho Izaiáš prevzal od Micheáša alebo naopak a či obaja citujú nejaké staršie proroctvo na sebe nezávisle.

Iz 2,2 - Výraz "na konci dní" je u prorokov častý. Tu označuje dobu mesiášsku, ktorá bude posledným náboženským obdobím. Náboženstvo, založené Mesiášom, bude vrcholné a konečné, ďalšie, dokonalejšie náboženstvo už nebude. Z proroctva jasne vidieť, že "vrch Pánovho domu" je obraz budúcej náboženskej spoločnosti, ktorá bude vynikať nie svojou fyzickou, ale mravnou výškou, a práve preto budú sa k nej hrnúť národy, ktoré doteraz nepoznali pravého Boha. Tieto národy budú hľadať Boha, ktorého doteraz uctievali len Izraeliti v jeruzalemskom chráme. Budú sa chcieť naučiť jeho prikázania a podľa nich žiť. Týmto obrazom znázorňuje prorok silu a mierumilovnosť mesiášskej, kresťanskej náuky.

Iz 2,6 - V časoch Izaiášových Izraeliti nasledovali len zlý príklad pohanov, spolčovali sa s nimi a prevzali rozličné neresti tak od susedných pohanských národov, ako aj od národov západných (Filištínci mali svoje mestá v západnej časti Kanaánu).

Iz 2,9 - Modlárstvo, ktorého sa Izraeliti dopúšťajú, je tak veľký zločin, že sa prorok nevie zdržať rozhorčeného výkriku: "Nie, neodpusť im to!"

Iz 2,12 - Prorok predstavuje Boha ako obrancu ľudu, keď znázorňuje tak živo Boží súd nad kniežatami Izraela, ktoré vládli nielen podľa svojich rozmarov, ale ľud aj vykorisťovali. Bude deň Pána, často spomínaný u prorokov (Joel 1,15; 2,1.4; Am 5,18–20; Sof 1,7–14).

Iz 2,13 - Bášan je veľmi úrodná krajina východne od Genezaretského jazera a od horného toku Jordána. Jeho dubové lesy boli kedysi chýrne (Zach 11,2; Ez 27,6).

Iz 2,16 - Taršiš (Tarzis) bol pravdepodobne v južnom Španielsku. Taršišskými loďami volali lode, ktoré boli schopné plavby až do tejto ďalekej krajiny, teda lode veľké a mocné.

Iz 2,20 - "Krtom a netopierom" rozumej, že ľudia budú zahadzovať svoje modly na opustené miesta, kde bývajú len tieto nečisté zvieratá, ktoré na svetle ani nevidia.

Iz 2,22 - Človek je naozaj veľmi biedny, veď jeho život závisí od veci tak malichernej, ako je dych v nose.
