Isaiah 2:10-17

The Voice

¹⁰ Get into the caves, hide in the dust,
    in the face of the Eternal’s terrifying Self,
    in the face of His dread and enormous majesty.
¹¹ The bubble of human pride will be burst;
    the arrogant will be pulled down from their pedestals.
Then, finally, the Eternal, no one and nothing else,
    will be the center of attention, lifted up in high esteem.
¹² The Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, has identified a time for assault
    against the arrogant and proud, against all who think they’re so indomitable.
They will be humbled.
¹³ Against all the high and lofty:
    against the cedars of Lebanon
    and the oaks of Bashan,
¹⁴ Against the tallest mountains
    and the highest hills,
¹⁵ Against every watchtower
    and every defended border,
¹⁶ Against all the trading ships of Tarshish,
    against all the luxury vessels.
¹⁷ On that day, humankind’s false pride will be shattered and pulled down.^[a]
    Then the Eternal, no one and nothing else, will be the center of attention,
Lifted up in high esteem.
