20 ·At that time [L In that day] 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.
21 Then the people will hide in ·caves [caverns/crevices in rocks]
    and ·cracks [clefts] in the rocks
from the ·anger [terror; terrible presence] of the Lord
    and ·his great power [the majesty/glory/splendor of his majesty; v. 19],
when he stands to ·shake [tremble; or terrify] the earth.

22 Stop trusting in people to save you [L Cease from man/people],
    ·because people are only human [L whose breath is in his nostrils];
·they aren’t able to help you [what good are they; or why do you esteem them?].
