3 And manie people shal go, and say. Come and let vs go vp to d 1.5 the Lord, to the house of the God of Jaakob.

4 Andg 1.8 he shal iudge among the nacions, &h 1.9 rebuke manie people: thei shali 1.10 breake their swordes also into mattockes, & their spares into sithes: nacion shal not lift vp a sworde against nacion, nether shal they learnek 1.11 to fight a nie more,

5 O house of Iaakob, come ye, and let vsl 1.12 walke in the light of the Lord.

6 Surely thoum 1.13 hast for saken thy people, the house of Iaakób, because thei aren 1.14 ful of the East (maners) & (are) socerers as the Philistims,o 1.15 and a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 with strange chil dren.

7 Their land also was ful ofp 1.16 siluer and gol∣de, and there (was) none end of their trea∣sures: and land was ful of horses, and their charets (were) infinite.

8 Their land also was ful of idoles: they wor shipped the worke of their owne hands, which their owne fingers haue made,

9 And a man bowed him self, and a manq 1.17 hū bled him self thereforer 1.18 spare them not

10 Enter into the rocke, & hide thee in the dust from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glorie of his maiestie.

11 The hie loke of man shalbe humbled, and the loftines of men shalbe abased, and the LORD onely shalbe exalted ins 1.19 that day.

12 For the day of the LORD of hostes (is) vpon all proude and hautie, and vpon all that is exalted and it shalbe made lowe.

13 Euen vpon all the cedres of Lebanon, that are hie and exalted, and vpon all the okes of Bashan.

14 And vpon all the hight 1.20 mountaines, and vpon all the hilles that are lifted vp.

15 And vpon euerie hie towre, and vpon eue∣rie strong wall.

16 And vpōu 1.21 all the shippes of 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and vpon all pleasant pictures,

17 And the hautines of men shalbe broght lowe, and the loftines of men shalbe abased and the Lord shal onely be exaltedin that day.

18 And the idoles wil he vtterly destroye.

19 Then they shal go* 1.22 * 1.23 * 1.24 into the holes of the rockes, and into the caues of the earth, from before the feare of the Lord, and frō the glorie of his maiestie, when he shal a ri∣se to destroye the earth.

20 At that day shal man cast away his siluer idoles, and his golden idoles [which they had made them selues to worship them]x 1.25 to the mowles and to the backes.

21 To go into the hole of the rockes, and into the toppes of ragged rockes from the glo rie of his maiestie when he shal rise to de∣stroy the earth.

22 Cease you from the man whosey 1.26 breath is in his nostrelles: for wherein is he to be este med.
