and from His majestic splendor,
when He rises to terrify the earth.(B)
20 On that day people will throw
their silver and gold idols,(C)
which they made to worship,
to the moles and the bats.
21 They will go into the caves of the rocks
and the crevices in the cliffs,
away from the terror of the Lord
and from His majestic splendor,(D)
