Isaiah 2:20-22

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁰In that day men will ^(A)cast away to the moles and the ^(B)bats
Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
Which they made for themselves to worship,
²¹In order to ^(C)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.
²²^[a]^(D)Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils;
For ^[b]^(E)why should he be esteemed?
