Isaiah 2:11-22

11The 12proud look of humanity will be brought low, And the 3arrogance of people will be humbled; And the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.

12For the Lord of armies will have a day of reckoning Against 4everyone who is arrogant and haughty, And against everyone who is lifted up, That he may be brought low.13And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up, Against all the 5oaks of Bashan,14Against all the 6lofty mountains, Against all the hills that are lifted up,15Against every 7high tower, Against every fortified wall,16Against all the 8ships of Tarshish And against all the delightful ships.17And the pride of humanity will be humbled And the arrogance of people will be brought low; And the Lord alone will be exalted on that day,18And the 9idols will completely vanish.19People will 10go into caves of the rocks And into holes in the 11ground Away from the terror of the Lord And the splendor of His majesty, When He arises 12to terrify the earth.20On that day people will 13throw away to the moles and the 14bats Their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which they made for themselves to worship,21In order to 15go into the clefts of the rocks and the crannies of the cliffs Before the terror of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to terrify the earth.221617Take no account of man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; For 1819why should he be esteemed?
