20 People had made some statues of gods out of silver.
    They had made others out of gold.
    Then they worshiped them.
But when the Lord comes,
    they will throw the statues away to the moles and bats.
21 Those people will run and hide in caves in the rocks.
    They will go into holes in the cliffs.
They will run away from the terrifying presence of the Lord.
    They will run when he comes in glory and majesty.
    When he comes, he will shake the earth.

22 Stop trusting in mere human beings, who can’t help you.
    They only live for a little while.
    What good are they?
