Isaiah 2:12–21

¹²For the Day of the LORD of Hosts

will come against all the proud and lofty,

against all that is exalted—

it will be humbled—

¹³against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up,

against all the oaks of Bashan,

¹⁴against all the tall mountains,

against all the high hills,

¹⁵against every high tower,

against every fortified wall,

¹⁶against every ship of Tarshish,^a

and against every stately vessel.

¹⁷So the pride of man will be brought low,

and the loftiness of men will be humbled;

the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

¹⁸and the idols will vanish completely.

¹⁹Men will flee to caves in the rocks

and holes in the ground,

away from the terror of the LORD

and from the splendor of His majesty,

when He rises to shake the earth.

²⁰In that day men will cast away

to the moles and bats

their idols of silver and gold —

the idols they made to worship.

²¹They will flee to caverns in the rocks

and crevices in the cliffs,

away from the terror of the LORD

and from the splendor of His majesty,

when He rises to shake the earth.
