Isaiah 2:10-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ Go into the caves of the cliffs.
    Dig holes and hide in the ground.
Hide from the anger of the Lord
    and from his great power!
¹¹ Proud people will stop being proud.
    They will bow low with shame.
At that time only the Lord will still be praised.

¹² The Lord of heaven’s armies has a certain day planned.
    On that day he will punish the proud and those who brag.
    They will no longer be important.
¹³ He will bring down the tall cedar trees from Lebanon.
    He will destroy the great oak trees of Bashan.
¹⁴ He will destroy all the tall mountains
    and the high hills.
¹⁵ He will knock down every tall tower
    and every high, strong wall.
¹⁶ He will sink all the trading ships.
    And he will destroy the beautiful ships.
¹⁷ At that time proud people will stop being proud.
    They will bow low with shame.
And at that time only the Lord will be praised.
