Isaiah 2:11–22

¹¹The ^1alofty look of ²man will be made low,

And the ^3bmen made high will be bowed down,

And Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.

¹²For Yahweh of hosts will have a day of reckoning

Against ^aeveryone who is proud and high

And against everyone who is lifted up,

That he may be made low.

¹³And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,

Against all the ^aoaks of Bashan,

¹⁴Against all the ^ahigh mountains,

Against all the hills that are lifted up,

¹⁵Against every ^alofty tower,

Against every fortified wall,

¹⁶Against all the ^aships of Tarshish

And against all the desirable craft.

¹⁷The loftiness of ¹man will be bowed down,

And the ²men who are high will be made low;

And Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day,

¹⁸But the ^aidols will completely vanish.

¹⁹Men will ^ago into caves of the rocks

And into holes of the ¹ground

Before the dread of Yahweh

And the splendor of His majesty,

When He arises ^bto make the earth tremble.

²⁰In that day men will ^acast away to the moles and the ^bbats

Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,

Which they made for themselves to worship,

²¹In order to ^ago into the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs

Before the dread of Yahweh and the splendor of His majesty,

When He arises to make the earth tremble.

^221aStop regarding ²man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils;

For ^3bwhy should he be esteemed?
