Isaiah 2:7-20

7Their land is filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures. Their land is filled with horses, and there is no end to their chariots.

8Their land is filled with idols, and they worship what their hands have shaped and what their fingers have molded.

9People will be brought down. Everyone will be humbled. Do not forgive them.

10Go in among the rocks and hide underground because of the Lord’s terrifying presence and the honor of his majesty.

11The eyes of arrogant people will be humbled. High and mighty people will be brought down. On that day the Lord alone will be honored.

12The Lord of Armies will have his day against all who are arrogant and conceited and all who are proud of themselves (they will be humbled),

13against all the towering and mighty cedars of Lebanon and all the oaks of Bashan,

14against all the high mountains and all the lofty hills,

15against every high tower and every fortified wall,

16against all the large ships of Tarshish and all the beautiful boats.

17Then arrogant people will be brought down, and high and mighty people will be humbled. On that day the Lord alone will be honored.

18Then idols will disappear completely.

19People will go into caves in the rocks and into holes in the ground because of the Lord’s terrifying presence and the honor of his majesty when he rises to terrify the earth.

20On that day people will throw to the moles and the bats the silver and gold idols that they made for themselves to worship.
