Isaiah 2:11-22 ▼

11 The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, || And the loftiness of men has been bowed down, || And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.

12 For a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, || For every proud and high one, || And for every lifted up and low one,

13 And for all cedars of Lebanon, || The high and the exalted ones, || And for all oaks of Bashan,

14 And for all the high mountains, || And for all the exalted heights,

15 And for every high tower, || And for every fortified wall,

16 And for all ships of Tarshish, || And for all desirable pictures.

17 And the haughtiness of man has been bowed down, || And the loftiness of men humbled, || And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.

18 And the idols—they completely pass away.

19 And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, || And into caves of dust, || Because of the fear of YHWH, || And because of the honor of His excellence, || In His rising to terrify the earth.

20 In that day man casts his idols of silver, || And his idols of gold, || That they have made for him to worship, || To moles, and to bats,

21 To enter into cavities of the rocks, || And into clefts of the high places, || Because of the fear of YHWH, || And because of the honor of His excellence, || In His rising to terrify the earth.

22 Cease yourselves from man, || Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, || For—in what is he esteemed?
