Isaiah 2:12-22

12For the Lord of armies will have a day of reckoning Against 1everyone 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 2oaks of Bashan,14Against all the 3lofty mountains, Against all the hills that are lifted up,15Against every 4high tower, Against every fortified wall,16Against all the 5ships 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 6idols will completely vanish.19People will 7go into caves of the rocks And into holes in the 8ground Away from the terror of the Lord And the splendor of His majesty, When He arises 9to terrify the earth.20On that day people will 10throw away to the moles and the 11bats Their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which they made for themselves to worship,21In order to 12go 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.22 13 14Take no account of man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; For 15 16why should he be esteemed?
