Isaiah 2:12-22

12Indeed, the Lord who commands armies has planned a day of judgment, for all the high and mighty, for all who are proud – they will be humiliated;

13for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are so high and mighty, for all the oaks of Bashan;

14for all the tall mountains, for all the high hills,

15for every high tower, for every fortified wall,

16for all the large ships, for all the impressive ships.

17Proud men will be humiliated, arrogant men will be brought low; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

18The worthless idols will be completely eliminated.

19They will go into caves in the rocky cliffs and into holes in the ground, trying to escape the dreadful judgment of the Lord and his royal splendor, when he rises up to terrify the earth.

20At that time men will throw their silver and gold idols, which they made for themselves to worship, into the caves where rodents and bats live,

21so they themselves can go into the crevices of the rocky cliffs and the openings under the rocky overhangs, trying to escape the dreadful judgment of the Lord and his royal splendor, when he rises up to terrify the earth.

22Stop trusting in human beings, whose life’s breath is in their nostrils. For why should they be given special consideration?
