Isaiah 2:10-22

English Standard Version

¹⁰^(A)Enter into the rock
    and hide in the dust
^(B)from before the terror of the Lord,
    and from the splendor of his majesty.
¹¹^(C)The haughty looks of man shall be brought low,
    and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

¹²^(D)For the Lord of hosts has a day
    against all that is proud and lofty,
    against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low;
¹³against all the ^(E)cedars of Lebanon,
    lofty and lifted up;
    and against all the ^(F)oaks of Bashan;
¹⁴against all ^(G)the lofty mountains,
    and against all the uplifted hills;
¹⁵against every high tower,
    and against every fortified wall;
¹⁶against all ^(H)the ships of Tarshish,
    and against all the beautiful craft.
¹⁷^(I)And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,
    and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low,
    and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
¹⁸^(J)And the idols shall utterly pass away.
¹⁹^(K)And people shall enter the caves of the rocks
    and the holes of the ground,^[a]
from before the terror of the Lord,
    and from the splendor of his majesty,
    ^(L)when he rises to terrify the earth.

²⁰In that day ^(M)mankind will cast away
    their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
which they made for themselves to worship,
    to the moles and to the ^(N)bats,
²¹^(O)to enter the caverns of the rocks
    and the clefts of the cliffs,
from before the terror of the Lord,
    and from the splendor of his majesty,
    ^(P)when he rises to terrify the earth.
²²^(Q)Stop regarding man
    ^(R)in whose nostrils is breath,
    for of what account is he?
