Isaiah 2:10-17

Contemporary English Version

A Day of Judgment

¹⁰^(A) Every one of you,
go hide among the rocks
    and in the ground,
because the Lord is fearsome,
    marvelous, and glorious.
¹¹When the Lord comes,
everyone who is proud
    will be made humble,
and the Lord alone
    will be honored.
¹²The Lord All-Powerful
    has chosen a day
when those who are proud
and conceited
    will be put down.

¹³The tall and towering
cedars of Lebanon
    will be destroyed.
So will the oak trees of Bashan,
¹⁴all high mountains and hills,
¹⁵    every strong fortress,
¹⁶all the seagoing ships,^[a]
    and every beautiful boat.
¹⁷When that day comes,
everyone who is proud
    will be put down.
Only the Lord will be honored.
