Isaiah 2:11–22

¹¹The haughty eyes^h of humanity willⁱ be brought low,

and the pride of everyone will be humbled,

and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.

¹²For there is a day for Yahweh of hosts

against all of the proud and the lofty

and against all that is lifted up and humble,^j

¹³and against all the lofty and lifted up cedars of Lebanon,

and against all the large trees of Bashan,

¹⁴and against all the high mountains,

and against all the lofty hills,

¹⁵and against every kind of high tower,

and against every kind of fortified wall,

¹⁶and against all the ships of Tarshish,

and against all the ships of desire.

¹⁷And the haughtiness of the people shall be humbled,

and the pride of everyone shall be brought low,

and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.

¹⁸And the idols shall pass away entirely,

¹⁹and they will enter into the caves of the rocks

and into the holes of the ground

from the presence of the terror of Yahweh

and from the glory of his majesty

when he rises^k to terrify the earth.

²⁰On that day humanity will throw away its idols of silver

and its idols of gold,

which they made for it to worship,

to the rodents^l and to the bats—

²¹to enter into the crevices of the rocks

and into the clefts of the crags

from the presence of the terror of Yahweh

and from the glory of his majesty,

when he rises^m to terrify the earth.

²²Turn away from humanity,

who has breath in its nostrils,ⁿ

for by^o what is it esteemed?
