Isaiah 2:12-22 - The Day Of The Lord's Judgment

¹²
For the Lord of hosts will have a day of reckoning
Against all who are proud and arrogant
And against all who are lifted up,
That they may be degraded.
¹³
And the wrath of God will be against all the cedars of Lebanon [west of the Jordan] that are high and lifted up,
Against all the oaks of Bashan [east of the Jordan],
¹⁴
Against all the high mountains,
Against all the hills that are lifted up,
¹⁵
Against every high tower,
Against every fortified wall,
¹⁶
Against all the ships of Tarshish
And against all the beautiful craft.
¹⁷
Then the pride of man will be humbled
And the arrogance of men will be degraded;
The Lord alone shall be exalted in that day,
¹⁸
And the idols will completely vanish (be abolished).

¹⁹
They [the stricken, deprived of all in which they had trusted] will go into the caves of the rocks
And into the holes of the ground [fleeing]
From the terror and dread of the Lord
And from the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to terrify the earth.
²⁰
In that day men will throw away to the moles and to the bats
Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
Which they made for themselves [as objects] to worship,
²¹
To go into the caverns of the rocks and into the clefts of the [ragged] cliffs [as they flee]
From the terror and dread of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to terrify the earth.
²²
Stop regarding man, whose breath [of life] is in his nostrils [for so little time];
For why should he be esteemed?
