Isaiah 2

Isaiah envisions the future exaltation of **Zion** where all nations stream to the Temple in Jerusalem to learn **YHWH**'s ways and beat swords into plowshares for lasting peace (2:1-5). He then prophesies **YHWH**'s day of judgment humbling the proud, exalting lofty cedars, mountains, and human arrogance, leaving only awe of **YHWH**'s glory (2:6-22).
