New International Version

Isaiah 2:16-22 New International Version (NIV)

16. for every trading ship and every stately vessel.

17. The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,

18. and the idols will totally disappear.

19. People will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.

20. In that day people will throw away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.

21. They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging crags from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.

22. Stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem?
