Isaiah 2:9

Compare all

7 ^aTheir land is also full of silver and gold,
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land is also full of horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.

8 ^aTheir land is also full of idols;
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made.

9 People bow down,
And each man humbles himself;
Therefore do not forgive them.

10 ^aEnter into the rock, and hide in the dust,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty.

11 The¹ lofty looks of man shall be ^ahumbled,
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
And the Lord alone shall be exalted ^bin that day.

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts
Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,
Upon everything lifted up—
And it shall be brought low—

13 Upon all ^athe cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,
And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
