Isaiah 2:20-22
International Standard Version
20 At that time,[a] mankind will throw
their silver and gold idols[b]
that their fingers have made[c] as objects of worship
to the moles and to the bats.
21 They will enter caverns in the rocks
and clefts in the cliffs,
to escape[d] the terror of the Lord
and to escape[e] the splendor of his majesty,
when he arises to terrorize the earth.
22 “Stop trusting in human beings,
whose life breath is in their nostrils,
for what are they[f] really worth?”[g]
