Isaiah 2:11–22

¹¹Human pride ^lwill be humbled, ^m

and the loftiness of men will be brought low;

the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.

¹²For a day belonging to the Lord of Hosts is coming

against all that is proud and lofty, ⁿ

against all that is lifted up—it will be humbled—

¹³against all the cedars of Lebanon, ^o

lofty and lifted up,

against all the oaks of Bashan, ^p

¹⁴against all the high mountains, ^q

against all the lofty hills,

¹⁵against every high tower, ^r

against every fortified wall,

¹⁶against every ship of Tarshish, ^s

and against every splendid sea vessel.

¹⁷So human pride will be brought low,

and the loftiness of men will be humbled;

the Lord alone will be exalted on that day. ^t

¹⁸The idols will vanish completely.

¹⁹People will go into caves in the rocks ^u

and holes in the ground,

away from the terror of the Lord

and from His majestic splendor,

when He rises to terrify the earth. ^v

²⁰On that day people will throw

their silver and gold idols, ^w

which they made to worship,

to the moles and the bats.

²¹They 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, ^x

when He rises to terrify the earth.

²²Put no more trust in man,

who has only the breath in his nostrils. ^y

What is he really worth?
