Isaiah 2:20-22
The Message
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?
Isaiah 2:20-22
New International Version
20 In that day(A) people will throw away
to the moles and bats(B)
their idols of silver and idols of gold,(C)
which they made to worship.(D)
21 They will flee to caverns in the rocks(E)
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)
