The Mountain of the Lord^(A)

2 This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:^(B)

² In the last days^(C)

³ Many peoples^(H) will come and say,

¹⁷ At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne^(A) of the Lord, and all nations^(B) will gather in Jerusalem to honor^(C) the name of the Lord. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts.^(D)

¹⁶ Then the survivors^(A) from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship^(B) the King,^(C) the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.^{(D) 17} If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship^(E) the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.^{(F) 18} If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord^[a] will bring on them the plague^(G) he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.^{(H) 19} This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.^(I)

²⁰ On that day holy to the Lord^(J) will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots^(K) in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls^(L) in front of the altar.

3 “I will send my messenger,^(A) who will prepare the way before me.^(B) Then suddenly the Lord^(C) you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant,^(D) whom you desire,^(E) will come,” says the Lord Almighty.
