Isaiah 2:18-21
World English Bible
18 The idols shall utterly pass away.
19 Men shall go into the caves of the rocks,
and into the holes of the earth,
from before the terror of Yahweh,
and from the glory of his majesty,
when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
20 In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver
and their idols of gold,
which have been made for themselves to worship,
to the moles and to the bats,
21 to go into the caverns of the rocks,
and into the clefts of the ragged rocks,
from before the terror of Yahweh,
and from the glory of his majesty,
when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
Isaiah 2:18-21
International Standard Version
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.
