20Men had made some statues of gods out of silver.

They had made others out of gold.

Then they worshiped them.

But when the Lord comes,

they will throw the statues away to the rodents and bats.

21They will run and hide in caves in the rocks.

They will go into holes in the cliffs.

They will run away from the terror of the Lord.

They will run when he comes in glory and majesty.

When he comes, he will shake the earth.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

In that day mankind will cast away

their idols of silver and their idols of gold,

which they made for themselves to worship,

to the moles and to the bats,

to enter the caverns of the rocks

and the clefts of the cliffs,

from before the terror of the Lord,

and from the splendor of his majesty,

when he rises to terrify the earth.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

In that day people will throw away

to the moles and bats

their idols of silver and idols of gold,

which they made to worship.

They will flee to caverns in the rocks

and to the overhanging crags

from the fearful presence of the Lord

and the splendor of his majesty,

when he rises to shake the earth.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

On that day people will throw

their worthless idols of silver and gold,

which they made to worship,

to the moles and the bats.

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,

when he rises to terrify the earth.

NLTNew Living Translation

On that day of judgment they will abandon the gold and silver idols

they made for themselves to worship.

They will leave their gods to the rodents and bats,

while they crawl away into caverns

and hide among the jagged rocks in the cliffs.

They will try to escape the terror of the Lord

and the glory of his majesty

as he rises to shake the earth.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

On 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 and to the bats—

to 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 to terrify the earth.

KJV 1900King James Version

In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold,

Which they made each one for himself to worship,

To the moles and to the bats;

To go into the clefts of the rocks,

And into the tops of the ragged rocks,

For fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty,

When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
