18 And the (A)idols will completely vanish.
19 People will (B)go into caves of the rocks
And into holes in the [a]ground
Away from the terror of the Lord
And the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises (C)to terrify the earth.
20 On that day people will (D)throw 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 clefts of the rocks and the crannies of the cliffs
Before the terror of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to terrify the earth.

  1. Isaiah 2:19 Lit dust

18 And the idols shall pass away entirely,
19 and they will enter into the caves of the rocks
    and into the holes of the ground
from the presence of the terror of Yahweh
    and from the glory of his majesty
when he rises[a] to terrify the earth.
20 On that day humanity will throw away its idols of silver
    and its idols of gold,
        which they made for it to worship,
    to the rodents[b] and to the bats—
21 to enter into the crevices of the rocks
    and into the clefts of the crags
from the presence of the terror of Yahweh
    and from the glory of his majesty,
when he rises[c] to terrify the earth.
