Isaiah 2:10-17
1599 Geneva Bible
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust from before the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his Majesty.
11 The high look of man shall be humbled, and the loftiness of men shall be abased, and the Lord only shall be exalted in [a]that day.
12 For the day of the Lord of hosts is upon all the proud and haughty, and upon all that is exalted: and it shall be made low.
13 Even upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and exalted, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 And upon all the high [b]mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every strong wall,
16 And upon [c]all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
17 And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low, and the loftiness of men shall be abased, and the Lord shall only be exalted in that day.
