Isaiah 2:11–22

¹¹The ³lofty looks of man shall be ^mhumbled,

The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,

And the Lord alone shall be exalted ⁿin that day.

¹²For the day of the Lord of hosts

Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,

Upon everything lifted up—

And it shall be brought low—

¹³Upon all ^othe cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,

And upon all the oaks of Bashan;

^14pUpon all the high mountains,

And upon all the hills that are lifted up;

¹⁵Upon every high tower,

And upon every fortified wall;

^16qUpon all the ships of Tarshish,

And upon all the beautiful sloops.

¹⁷The ⁴loftiness of man shall be bowed down,

And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;

The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,

¹⁸But the idols ⁵He shall utterly abolish.

¹⁹They shall go into the ^rholes of the rocks,

And into the caves of the ⁶earth,

^sFrom the terror of the Lord

And the glory of His majesty,

When He arises ^tto shake the earth mightily.

²⁰In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver

And his idols of gold,

Which they made, each for himself to worship,

To the moles and bats,

²¹To go into the clefts of the rocks,

And into the crags of the rugged rocks,

From the terror of the Lord

And the glory of His majesty,

When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

^22uSever ⁷yourselves from such a man,

Whose ^vbreath is in his nostrils;

For ⁸of what account is he?
