Isaiah 2:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Their land is full of idols;
they bow down to the works of their hands,
what their fingers have made.(A)
9 So all shall be abased,
each one brought low.[a]
Do not pardon them!
10 Get behind the rocks,
hide in the dust,
From the terror of the Lord
and the splendor of his majesty!
Footnotes
- 2:9 Bowing down to idols will not bring deliverance to Israel, but rather total abasement. Do not pardon them: this line is so abrupt that it is almost certainly an intrusion in the text.
