Isaiah 2:17-21 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

17. A man who brags will be brought low. Men who are proud will be put to shame. The Lord alone will be honored at that time.

18. And the statues of gods will totally disappear.

19. People will run and hide in caves in the rocks. They will go into holes in the ground. They will run away from the terror of the Lord. They will run when he comes in glory and majesty. When he comes, he will shake the earth.

20. Men had made some statues of gods out of silver. They had made others out of gold. Then they worshiped them. But when the Lord comes, they will throw the statues away to the rodents and bats.

21. They will run and hide in caves in the rocks. They will go into holes in the cliffs. They will run away from the terror of the Lord. They will run when he comes in glory and majesty. When he comes, he will shake the earth.
