Isaiah 2:11–22

¹¹The eyes of the arrogant^p will be humbled^q

and human pride^r brought low;^s

the Lord alone will be exalted^t in that day.^u

¹²The Lord Almighty has a day^v in store

for all the proud^w and lofty,^x

for all that is exalted^y

(and they will be humbled),^z

¹³for all the cedars of Lebanon,^a tall and lofty,^b

and all the oaks of Bashan,^c

¹⁴for all the towering mountains

and all the high hills,^d

¹⁵for every lofty tower^e

and every fortified wall,^f

¹⁶for every trading ship^bg

and every stately vessel.

¹⁷The arrogance of man will be brought low^h

and human pride humbled;ⁱ

the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,^j

¹⁸and the idols^k will totally disappear.^l

¹⁹People will flee to caves^m in the rocks

and to holes in the groundⁿ

from the fearful presence^o of the Lord

and the splendor of his majesty,^p

when he rises to shake the earth.^q

²⁰In that day^r people will throw away

to the moles and bats^s

their idols of silver and idols of gold,^t

which they made to worship.^u

²¹They will flee to caverns in the rocks^v

and to the overhanging crags

from the fearful presence of the Lord

and the splendor of his majesty,^w

when he rises^x to shake the earth.^y

²²Stop trusting in mere humans,^z

who have but a breath^a in their nostrils.

Why hold them in esteem?^b
