Isaiah
Isaiah describes a coming day when human pride is brought low and the LORD alone is exalted (Isaiah 2:11-12). The passage lists lofty things that will be humbled and shows people hiding in fear of the LORD’s majesty (Isaiah 2:17-21).
11The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
12For there shall be a day of Yahweh of Hosts on all that is proud and haughty, and on all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low;
13and on all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and on all the oaks of Bashan,
14and on all the high mountains, and on all the hills that are lifted up,
15and on every lofty tower, and on every fortified wall,
16and on all the ships of Tarshish, and on all pleasant imagery.
17The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
18The idols shall utterly pass away.
Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake mightily the earth.
20In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver, and their idols of gold, which have been made for them to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake mightily the earth.
