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.

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.
