Berean Standard Bible

Isaiah 2:6-22

6For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

7Their land is full of silver and gold,with no limit to their treasures;their land is full of horses,with no limit to their chariots.8Their land is full of idols;they bow down to the work of their hands,to what their fingers have made.9So mankind is brought low,and man is humbled—do not forgive them!

10Go into the rocksand hide in the dustfrom the terror of the LORDand the splendor of His majesty.11The proud look of man will be humbled,and the loftiness of men brought low;the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

12For the Day of the LORD of Hostswill 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,1and 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 rocksand holes in the ground,away from the terror of the LORDand from the splendor of His majesty,when He rises to shake the earth.

20In that day men will cast awayto the moles and batstheir idols of silver and gold—the idols they made to worship.21They will flee to caverns in the rocksand crevices in the cliffs,away from the terror of the LORDand from the splendor of His majesty,when He rises to shake the earth.

22Put no more trust in man,who has only the breath in his nostrils.Of what account is he?
