Isaiah 2:12-22 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

12. For there is a day for Yahweh of hosts against all of the proud and the lofty and against all that is lifted up and humble,

13. and against all the lofty and lifted up cedars of Lebanon, and against all the large trees of Bashan,

14. and against all the high mountains, and against all the lofty hills,

15. and against every kind of high tower, and against every kind of fortified wall,

16. and against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the ships of desire.

17. And the haughtiness of the people shall be humbled, and the pride of everyone shall be brought low, and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.

18. And the idols shall pass away entirely,

19. and they will enter into the caves of the rocks and into the holes of the ground from the presence of the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty when he rises to terrify the earth.

20. 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—

21. 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.

22. Turn away from humanity, who has breath in its nostrils, for by what is it esteemed?
