Isaiah 2:7-20

7Their land has also been filled with silver and gold And there is no end to their treasures; Their land has also been filled with horses And there is no end to their chariots.

8Their land has also been filled with idols; They worship the work of their hands, That which their own fingers have made.

9So the common man has been humbled [before idols] And the man of importance has been degraded, Therefore do not forgive them [O Lord].

10Go among the rocks and hide in the dust From the terror of the Lord and from the splendor of His majesty.

11The proud look of man will be degraded And the arrogance of men will be humbled, And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

12For the Lord of hosts will have a day of reckoning Against all who are proud and arrogant And against all who are lifted up, That they may be degraded.

13And the wrath of God will be against all the cedars of Lebanon [west of the Jordan] that are high and lifted up, Against all the oaks of Bashan [east of the Jordan],

14Against all the high mountains, Against all the hills that are lifted up,

15Against every high tower, Against every fortified wall,

16Against all the ships of Tarshish And against all the beautiful craft.

17Then the pride of man will be humbled And the arrogance of men will be degraded; The Lord alone shall be exalted in that day,

18And the idols will completely vanish (be abolished).

19They [the stricken, deprived of all in which they had trusted] will go into the caves of the rocks And into the holes of the ground [fleeing] From the terror and dread of the Lord And from the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to terrify the earth.

20In that day men will throw away to the moles and to the bats Their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which they made for themselves [as objects] to worship,
