Isaiah 2:10

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;

14 ^aUpon all the high mountains,
And upon all the hills that are lifted up;

15 Upon every high tower,
And upon every fortified wall;

16 ^aUpon all the ships of Tarshish,
And upon all the beautiful sloops.

17 The¹ loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,

18 But the idols¹ He shall utterly abolish.

19 They shall go into the ^aholes of the rocks,
And into the caves of the¹ earth,
^bFrom the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises ^cto shake the earth mightily.

20 In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver
And his idols of gold,
Which they made, each for himself to worship,
To the moles and bats,

21 To go into the clefts of the rocks,
And into the crags of the rugged rocks,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

Isaiah 2:10

"When he ariseth to strike the earth with terror" - On the authority of the Septuagint, confirmed by the Arabic and an ancient MS., I have added here to the text a line, which in the 19th and 21st verses (Isaiah 2:19, Isaiah 2:21) is repeated together with the preceding line, and has, I think, evidently been omitted by mistake in this place. The MS. here varies only in one letter from the reading of the other two verses; it has baarets , instead of haarets . None of De Rossi' s MSS. confirm this addition. The line added is, When he ariseth to strike the earth with terror.
