18 Their[a] idols will utterly vanish.[b]

19 “They will enter caverns in the rocks
    and holes in the ground
to escape[c] the presence of the terror of the Lord,
    to escape[d] the splendor of his majesty
        when he arises to terrify the earth.
20 At that time,[e] mankind will throw
    their silver and gold idols[f]
that their fingers have made[g] as objects of worship
    to the moles and to the bats.
21 They will enter caverns in the rocks
    and clefts in the cliffs,
to escape[h] the terror of the Lord
    and to escape[i] the splendor of his majesty,
        when he arises to terrorize the earth.
