Isaiah 2:7-20

7Their land is full of silver and gold; there is no end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses; there is no end 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 people will be brought low and everyone humbled— do not forgive them.

10Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty!

11The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled and human pride brought low; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

12The Lord Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),

13for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty, and all the oaks of Bashan,

14for all the towering mountains and all the high hills,

15for every lofty tower and every fortified wall,

16for every trading ship and every stately vessel.

17The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,

18and the idols will totally disappear.

19People will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.

20In that day people will throw away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.
