18 But the (A)idols will completely vanish.
19 Men will (B)go into caves of the rocks
And into holes of the [a]ground
Before the dread of Yahweh
And the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises (C)to make the earth tremble.
20 In that day men will (D)cast away to the moles and the (E)bats
Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
Which they made for themselves to worship,
21 In order to (F)go into the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs
Before the dread of Yahweh and the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to make the earth tremble.
