20-21 On that Day men and women will take
    the sticks and stones
They’ve decked out in gold and silver
    to look like gods and then worshiped,
And they will dump them
    in any ditch or gully,
Then run for rock caves
    and cliff hideouts
To hide from the terror of God,
    from his dazzling presence,
When he assumes his full stature on earth,
    towering and terrifying.

22 Quit scraping and fawning over mere humans,
    so full of themselves, so full of hot air!
    Can’t you see there’s nothing to them?

    which they made to worship.(D)

    and to the overhanging crags
from the fearful presence of the Lord
    and the splendor of his majesty,(F)
    when he rises(G) to shake the earth.(H)

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