Isaiah 2:12-22

Revised Standard Version

¹² For the Lord of hosts has a day
    against all that is proud and lofty,
    against all that is lifted up and high;^[a]
13 against all the cedars of Lebanon,
    lofty and lifted up;
    and against all the oaks of Bashan;
¹⁴ against all the high mountains,
    and against all the lofty hills;
¹⁵ against every high tower,
    and against every fortified wall;
¹⁶ against all the ships of Tarshish,
    and against all the beautiful craft.
¹⁷ And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,
    and the pride of men shall be brought low;
    and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
¹⁸ And the idols shall utterly pass away.
¹⁹ And men shall enter the caves of the rocks
    and the holes of the ground,
from before the terror of the Lord,
    and from the glory of his majesty,
    when he rises to terrify the earth.

²⁰ In that day men will cast forth
    their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
which they made for themselves to worship,
    to the moles and to the bats,
²¹ to enter the caverns of the rocks
    and the clefts of the cliffs,
from before the terror of the Lord,
    and from the glory of his majesty,
    when he rises to terrify the earth.
²² Turn away from man
    in whose nostrils is breath,
    for of what account is he?
