Isaiah 2:10-17
New Living Translation
10 Crawl into caves in the rocks.
Hide in the dust
from the terror of the Lord
and the glory of his majesty.
11 Human pride will be brought down,
and human arrogance will be humbled.
Only the Lord will be exalted
on that day of judgment.
12 For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
has a day of reckoning.
He will punish the proud and mighty
and bring down everything that is exalted.
13 He will cut down the tall cedars of Lebanon
and all the mighty oaks of Bashan.
14 He will level all the high mountains
and all the lofty hills.
15 He will break down every high tower
and every fortified wall.
16 He will destroy all the great trading ships[a]
and every magnificent vessel.
17 Human pride will be humbled,
and human arrogance will be brought down.
Only the Lord will be exalted
on that day of judgment.

International Standard Version
The Coming Day of the Lord
10 [a] “Go into the rocks!
Hide in the dust
to escape[b] the terror of the Lord
and to escape[c] the glory of his majesty![d]
11 The[e] haughty looks of mankind will be brought low,[f]
the lofty pride of human beings will be humbled,
and the Lord alone will be exalted at that time.[g]
12 “For the Lord of the Heavenly Armies has reserved[h] a time[i]
to oppose[j] all who are proud and haughty,
and the[k] self-exalting—
they will be humbled.
13 He will take his stand[l] against all the cedars[m] of Lebanon,
against the proud and self-exalting;
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 from Tarshish,
and against all their impressive watercraft.
17 “Humanity’s haughtiness will be humbled,
male arrogance will be brought low,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
