    and holes in the ground
to escape[a] the presence of the terror of the Lord,
    to escape[b] the splendor of his majesty
        when he arises to terrify the earth.

    their silver and gold idols[d]
that their fingers have made[e] as objects of worship

to escape[f] the terror of the Lord
    and to escape[g] the splendor of his majesty,
        when he arises to terrorize the earth.
