Isaiah 2: 1 - 5
1The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.2It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it,3and many peoples shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.4He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.5O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
| Psalms 122: 1 - 9 | |
| 1 | I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD!" |
| 2 | Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! |
| 3 | Jerusalem, built as a city which is bound firmly together, |
| 4 | to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. |
| 5 | There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David. |
| 6 | Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! "May they prosper who love you! |
| 7 | Peace be within your walls, and security within your towers!" |
| 8 | For my brethren and companions' sake I will say, "Peace be within you!" |
| 9 | For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. |

| 11 | Besides this you know what hour it is, how it is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed; | ||||||||||||||||||
| 12 | the night is far gone, the day is at hand. Let us then cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; | ||||||||||||||||||
| 13 | let us conduct ourselves becomingly as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 14 | But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
