49:11 I will make all my mountains into a road;
I will construct my roadways.”
2:14 for all the tall mountains,
for all the high hills, 1
2:2 In the future 2
the mountain of the Lord’s temple will endure 3
as the most important of mountains,
and will be the most prominent of hills. 4
All the nations will stream to it,
57:7 On every high, elevated hill you prepare your bed;
you go up there to offer sacrifices.
64:1 (63:19b) 5 If only you would tear apart the sky 6 and come down!
The mountains would tremble 7 before you!
14:25 I will break Assyria 8 in my land,
I will trample them 9 underfoot on my hills.
Their yoke will be removed from my people,
the burden will be lifted from their shoulders. 10
10:32 This very day, standing in Nob,
they shake their fist at Daughter Zion’s mountain 11 –
at the hill of Jerusalem.
34:3 Their slain will be left unburied, 12
their corpses will stink; 13
the hills will soak up their blood. 14
11:9 They will no longer injure or destroy
on my entire royal mountain. 15
For there will be universal submission to the Lord’s sovereignty,
just as the waters completely cover the sea. 16
18:3 All you who live in the world,
who reside on the earth,
you will see a signal flag raised on the mountains;
you will hear a trumpet being blown.
16:1 Send rams as tribute to the ruler of the land, 17
from Sela in the desert 18
to the hill of Daughter Zion.
65:11 But as for you who abandon the Lord
and forget about worshiping at 19 my holy mountain,
who prepare a feast for the god called ‘Fortune,’ 20
and fill up wine jugs for the god called ‘Destiny’ 21 –
40:4 Every valley must be elevated,
and every mountain and hill leveled.
The rough terrain will become a level plain,
the rugged landscape a wide valley.
42:15 I will make the trees on the mountains and hills wither up; 22
I will dry up all their vegetation.
I will turn streams into islands, 23
and dry up pools of water. 24
25:7 On this mountain he will swallow up
the shroud that is over all the peoples, 25
the woven covering that is over all the nations; 26
25:10 For the Lord’s power will make this mountain secure. 27
Moab will be trampled down where it stands, 28
as a heap of straw is trampled down in 29 a manure pile.
22:5 For the sovereign master, 30 the Lord who commands armies,
has planned a day of panic, defeat, and confusion. 31
In the Valley of Vision 32 people shout 33
and cry out to the hill. 34
37:32 “For a remnant will leave Jerusalem;
survivors will come out of Mount Zion.
The intense devotion of the Lord who commands armies 35 will accomplish this.
52:7 How delightful it is to see approaching over the mountains 36
the feet of a messenger who announces peace,
a messenger who brings good news, who announces deliverance,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” 37
65:9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,
and from Judah people to take possession of my mountains.
My chosen ones will take possession of the land; 38
my servants will live there.
13:4 39 There is a loud noise on the mountains –
it sounds like a large army! 40
There is great commotion among the kingdoms 41 –
nations are being assembled!
The Lord who commands armies is mustering
forces for battle.
30:25 On every high mountain
and every high hill
there will be streams flowing with water,
at the time of 42 great slaughter when the fortified towers collapse.
40:12 Who has measured out the waters 43 in the hollow of his hand,
or carefully 44 measured the sky, 45
or carefully weighed 46 the soil of the earth,
or weighed the mountains in a balance,
or the hills on scales? 47
42:11 Let the desert and its cities shout out,
the towns where the nomads of Kedar live!
Let the residents of Sela shout joyfully;
let them shout loudly from the mountaintops.
49:13 Shout for joy, O sky! 48
Rejoice, O earth!
Let the mountains give a joyful shout!
For the Lord consoles his people
and shows compassion to the 49 oppressed.
55:12 Indeed you will go out with joy;
you will be led along in peace;
the mountains and hills will give a joyful shout before you,
and all the trees in the field will clap their hands.
64:3 When you performed awesome deeds that took us by surprise, 50
you came down, and the mountains trembled 51 before you.
18:6 They will all be left 52 for the birds of the hills
and the wild animals; 53
the birds will eat them during the summer,
and all the wild animals will eat them during the winter.
57:13 When you cry out for help, let your idols 54 help you!
The wind blows them all away, 55
a breeze carries them away. 56
But the one who looks to me for help 57 will inherit the land
and will have access to 58 my holy mountain.”
65:25 A wolf and a lamb will graze together; 59
a lion, like an ox, will eat straw, 60
and a snake’s food will be dirt. 61
They will no longer injure or destroy
on my entire royal mountain,” 62 says the Lord.
30:29 You will sing
as you do in the evening when you are celebrating a festival.
You will be happy like one who plays a flute
as he goes to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock who shelters Israel. 63
41:15 “Look, I am making you like 64 a sharp threshing sledge,
new and double-edged. 65
You will thresh the mountains and crush them;
you will make the hills like straw. 66
54:10 Even if the mountains are removed
and the hills displaced,
my devotion will not be removed from you,
nor will my covenant of friendship 67 be displaced,”
says the Lord, the one who has compassion on you.
13:2 70 On a bare hill raise a signal flag,
shout to them,
wave your hand,
so they might enter the gates of the princes!
30:17 One thousand will scurry at the battle cry of one enemy soldier; 71
at the battle cry of five enemy soldiers you will all run away, 72
until the remaining few are as isolated 73
as a flagpole on a mountaintop
or a signal flag on a hill.”
65:7 for your sins and your ancestors’ sins,” 74 says the Lord.
“Because they burned incense on the mountains
and offended 75 me on the hills,
I will punish them in full measure.” 76
14:13 You said to yourself, 77
“I will climb up to the sky.
Above the stars of El 78
I will set up my throne.
I will rule on the mountain of assembly
on the remote slopes of Zaphon. 79
8:18 Look, I and the sons whom the Lord has given me 80 are reminders and object lessons 81 in Israel, sent from the Lord who commands armies, who lives on Mount Zion.
24:23 The full moon will be covered up, 82
the bright sun 83 will be darkened; 84
for the Lord who commands armies will rule 85
on Mount Zion in Jerusalem 86
in the presence of his assembly, in majestic splendor. 87
25:6 The Lord who commands armies will hold a banquet for all the nations on this mountain. 88
At this banquet there will be plenty of meat and aged wine –
tender meat and choicest wine. 89
28:21 For the Lord will rise up, as he did at Mount Perazim, 90
he will rouse himself, as he did in the Valley of Gibeon, 91
to accomplish his work,
his peculiar work,
to perform his task,
his strange task. 92
40:9 Go up on a high mountain, O herald Zion!
Shout out loudly, O herald Jerusalem! 93
Shout, don’t be afraid!
Say to the towns of Judah,
“Here is your God!”
44:23 Shout for joy, O sky, for the Lord intervenes; 94
shout out, you subterranean regions 95 of the earth.
O mountains, give a joyful shout;
you too, O forest and all your trees! 96
For the Lord protects 97 Jacob;
he reveals his splendor through Israel. 98
10:12 But when 99 the sovereign master 100 finishes judging 101 Mount Zion and Jerusalem, then I 102 will punish the king of Assyria for what he has proudly planned and for the arrogant attitude he displays. 103
37:24 Through your messengers you taunted the sovereign master, 107
‘With my many chariots I climbed up
the high mountains,
the slopes of Lebanon.
I cut down its tall cedars
and its best evergreens.
I invaded its most remote regions, 108
its thickest woods.
29:8 It will be like a hungry man dreaming that he is eating,
only to awaken and find that his stomach is empty. 114
It will be like a thirsty man dreaming that he is drinking,
only to awaken and find that he is still weak and his thirst unquenched. 115
So it will be for the horde from all the nations
that fight against Mount Zion.
56:7 I will bring them to my holy mountain;
I will make them happy in the temple where people pray to me. 116
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar,
for my temple will be known as a temple where all nations may pray.” 117
31:4 Indeed, this is what the Lord says to me:
“The Lord will be like a growling lion,
like a young lion growling over its prey. 118
Though a whole group of shepherds gathers against it,
it is not afraid of their shouts
or intimidated by their yelling. 119
In this same way the Lord who commands armies will descend
to do battle on Mount Zion and on its hill. 120
4:5 Then the Lord will create
over all of Mount Zion 121
and over its convocations
a cloud and smoke by day
and a bright flame of fire by night; 122
indeed a canopy will accompany the Lord’s glorious presence. 123
17:13 Though these people make an uproar as loud as the roaring of powerful waves, 124
when he shouts at 125 them, they will flee to a distant land,
driven before the wind like dead weeds on the hills,
or like dead thistles 126 before a strong gale.
2:3 many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain,
to the temple of the God of Jacob,
so 127 he can teach us his requirements, 128
and 129 we can follow his standards.” 130
For Zion will be the center for moral instruction; 131
the Lord will issue edicts from Jerusalem. 132
5:25 So the Lord is furious 133 with his people;
he lifts 134 his hand and strikes them.
The mountains shake,
and corpses lie like manure 135 in the middle of the streets.
Despite all this, his anger does not subside,
and his hand is ready to strike again. 136
18:7 At that time
tribute will be brought to the Lord who commands armies,
by a people that are tall and smooth-skinned,
a people that are feared far and wide,
a nation strong and victorious,
whose land rivers divide. 137
The tribute 138 will be brought to the place where the Lord who commands armies has chosen to reside, on Mount Zion. 139
63:18 For a short time your special 140 nation possessed a land, 141
but then our adversaries knocked down 142 your holy sanctuary.
10:29 They went through the pass,
spent the night at Geba.
Ramah trembled,
Gibeah of Saul ran away.
10:34 The thickets of the forest will be chopped down with an ax,
and mighty Lebanon will fall. 143
40:16 Not even Lebanon could supply enough firewood for a sacrifice; 144
its wild animals would not provide enough burnt offerings. 145
65:10 Sharon 146 will become a pasture for sheep,
and the Valley of Achor 147 a place where cattle graze; 148
they will belong to my people, who seek me. 149
26:4 Trust in the Lord from this time forward, 150
even in Yah, the Lord, an enduring protector! 151
45:2 “I will go before you
and level mountains. 152
Bronze doors I will shatter
and iron bars 153 I will hack through.
48:21 They do not thirst as he leads them through dry regions;
he makes water flow out of a rock for them;
he splits open a rock and water flows out.’ 154
2:21 so they themselves can go into the crevices of the rocky cliffs
and the openings under the rocky overhangs, 155
trying to escape the dreadful judgment of the Lord 156
and his royal splendor,
when he rises up to terrify the earth. 157
17:10 For you ignore 161 the God who rescues you;
you pay no attention to your strong protector. 162
So this is what happens:
You cultivate beautiful plants
and plant exotic vines. 163
2:10 Go up into the rocky cliffs,
hide in the ground.
Get away from the dreadful judgment of the Lord, 164
from his royal splendor!
17:9 At that time 165 their fortified cities will be
like the abandoned summits of the Amorites, 166
which they abandoned because of the Israelites;
there will be desolation.
51:1 “Listen to me, you who pursue godliness, 167
who seek the Lord!
Look at the rock from which you were chiseled,
at the quarry 168 from which you were dug! 169
2:19 They 170 will go into caves in the rocky cliffs
and into holes in the ground, 171
trying to escape the dreadful judgment of the Lord 172
and his royal splendor,
when he rises up to terrify the earth. 173
35:2 Let it richly bloom; 174
let it rejoice and shout with delight! 175
It is given the grandeur 176 of Lebanon,
the splendor of Carmel and Sharon.
They will see the grandeur of the Lord,
the splendor of our God.
33:9 The land 177 dries up 178 and withers away;
the forest of Lebanon shrivels up 179 and decays.
Sharon 180 is like the desert; 181
Bashan and Carmel 182 are parched. 183
44:8 Don’t panic! Don’t be afraid! 184
Did I not tell you beforehand and decree it?
You are my witnesses! Is there any God but me?
There is no other sheltering rock; 185 I know of none.
11:14 They will swoop down 186 on the Philistine hills to the west; 187
together they will loot the people of the east.
They will take over Edom and Moab, 188
and the Ammonites will be their subjects.
32:14 For the fortress is neglected;
the once-crowded 189 city is abandoned.
Hill 190 and watchtower
are permanently uninhabited. 191
Wild donkeys love to go there,
and flocks graze there. 192
33:16 This is the person who will live in a secure place; 193
he will find safety in the rocky, mountain strongholds; 194
he will have food
and a constant supply of water.
50:7 But the sovereign Lord helps me,
so I am not humiliated.
For that reason I am steadfastly resolved; 195
I know I will not be put to shame.
5:2 He built a hedge around it, 196 removed its stones,
and planted a vine.
He built a tower in the middle of it,
and constructed a winepress.
He waited for it to produce edible grapes,
but it produced sour ones instead. 197
60:14 The children of your oppressors will come bowing to you;
all who treated you with disrespect will bow down at your feet.
They will call you, ‘The City of the Lord,
Zion of the Holy One of Israel.’ 198
