Isaiah 2 — Context

Against every high tower, Against every fortified wall,

Against all the ships of Tarshish And against all the beautiful craft.

The pride of man will be humbled And the loftiness of men will be abased; And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

But the idols will completely vanish.

Men will go into caves of the rocks And into holes of the ground Before the terror of the LORD And the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to make the earth tremble.

In that day men will cast away to the moles and the bats Their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which they made for themselves to worship,

In order to go into the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs Before the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to make the earth tremble.
