Isaiah 2:12-22

Isaiah 2:12-22 NCV

The LORD All-Powerful has a certain day planned when he will punish the proud and those who brag, and they will no longer be important. He will bring down the tall cedar trees from Lebanon and the great oak trees of Bashan, all the tall mountains and the high hills, every tall tower and every high, strong wall, all the trading ships and the beautiful ships. At that time proud people will be made humble, and they will bow low with shame. At that time only the LORD will be praised, but all the idols will be gone. People will run to caves in the rocky cliffs and will dig holes and hide in the ground from the anger of the LORD and his great power, when he stands to shake the earth. At that time people will throw away their gold and silver idols, which they made for themselves to worship; they will throw them away to the bats and moles. Then the people will hide in caves and cracks in the rocks from the anger of the LORD and his great power, when he stands to shake the earth. You should stop trusting in people to save you, because people are only human; they aren’t able to help you.
