Isaiah 2:18-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
18 The idols will vanish completely.
19 People will go into caves in the rocks(A)
and holes in the ground,
away from the terror of the Lord
and from His majestic splendor,
when He rises to terrify the earth.(B)
20 On that day people will throw
their silver and gold idols,(C)
which they made to worship,
to the moles and the bats.
21 They will go into the caves of the rocks
and the crevices in the cliffs,
away from the terror of the Lord
and from His majestic splendor,(D)
when He rises to terrify the earth.
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.
