3. et ibunt populi multi et dicent venite et ascendamus ad montem Domini et ad domum Dei Jacob et docebit nos vias suas et ambulabimus in semitis ejus quia de Sion exibit lex et verbum Domini de Hierusalem

3. virão muitos povos e dirão: Vinde, subamos à montanha do Senhor, à casa do Deus de Jacob, e ele nos ensinará os seus caminhos, e nós andaremos pelas suas veredas, porque de Sião sairá a lei, e de Jerusalém a palavra do Senhor.

9. Todo o mortal será humilhado, todo o homem abatido: (Senhor) não lhes perdoarás.

Footnotes:

2:2-4 - Isaiah prophesies that the mountain of the Lord will be exalted, and all nations will seek His instruction. This points to the peace and harmony God will bring among the nations, eliminating wars (see also Micah 4:1-3 and Zechariah 8:20-23).

2:6-8 - God rebukes His people for mingling with pagan practices and pursuing riches and idols. Idolatry and materialism turn hearts away from the true God and lead to spiritual ruin (see also Deuteronomy 7:3-4 and Matthew 6:24).

2:10-12 - Isaiah warns of the Day of the Lord, a day of judgment against human pride. God will bring down all the arrogant, exalting only His glory and power (see also Zephaniah 1:14-18 and 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9).

2:17-18 - On that day, all idolatry will be destroyed, and only the Lord will be exalted. This purification is necessary to restore true worship to God (see also Ezekiel 36:25 and 1 Corinthians 3:13).

02:22 - Isaiah exhorts the people to stop trusting in man, who is fleeting and mortal. Their trust should be in God, who is eternal and all-powerful (see also Psalm 118:8-9 and Jeremiah 17:5).

Verses related to Liber Isaiae, 2:

Isaiah chapter 2 paints a vivid picture of the future kingdom of God. What will the Lord's day be like? This prophetic text describes the exaltation of Jerusalem, divine judgment on human pride, and the coming of the messianic kingdom. The chapter addresses themes such as the universality of the worship of God, peace between nations and the humiliation of the haughty. Isaiah 2 offers a vision of hope amid the warnings. Explore with us five biblical passages that correlate with the glorious promises of this inspiring chapter.

Micah 4:1-3: "In the last days the mountain of the Lord's temple will be established as the main one; He will be raised above the hills, and people will flock to him. Many nations will come and say, 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, that we may walk in his paths.' The law will come out of Zion, the word of the Lord will come from Jerusalem. He will judge between many peoples and resolve disputes between powerful and distant nations. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. One nation will no longer lift up the sword against another, nor will they learn war any more." - This passage is almost identical to Isaiah 2:2-4, reinforcing the prophetic vision of peace and universal worship.

Joel 3:10: "Beat your plowshares into swords and your sickles into spears. Say the weak: 'I am strong!'" - This verse presents a reverse image to that of Isaiah 2:4, contrasting the times of judgment with the era of peace prophesied by Isaiah.

Revelation 11:15: "The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven saying: 'The kingdoms of the world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.'" - This passage echoes Isaiah 2's vision of the final establishment of God's kingdom.

Zechariah 8:20-22: "Thus says the Lord of hosts: 'People and inhabitants of many cities will still come. The inhabitants of one city will go to another and say: Let us immediately ask the Lord's favor and seek the Lord of hosts. I will also go.' And many people and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord of hosts and to plead for his favor.'"" - This prophecy of Zechariah reflects the vision of Isaiah 2:2-3 about the nations seeking God in Jerusalem.

Ephesians 2:14-16: "For he is our peace, who made both one and destroyed the barrier, the wall of enmity, nullifying in his body the law of commandments expressed in ordinances. His aim was to create in himself, of the two, one new man, making peace, and to reconcile the two to God in one body, through the cross, by which he destroyed the enmity." - Paul presents Christ as the fulfillment of the promise of peace in Isaiah 2, uniting Jew and Gentile.
