Isaiah 2:11–22

¹¹The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day. ¹²For a day is to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one, ¹³And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan, ¹⁴And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights, ¹⁵And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall, ¹⁶And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures. ¹⁷And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day. ¹⁸And the idols—they completely pass away. ¹⁹And men have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth. ²⁰In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats, ²¹To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth. ²²Cease for you from man, Whose breath is in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?
