Isaiah 2:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Isaiah 2:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 On that day people shall throw to moles and bats
their idols of silver and their idols of gold
which they made for themselves to worship.
21 And they shall go into caverns in the rocks
and into crevices in the cliffs,
At the terror of the Lord
and the splendor of his majesty,
as he rises to overawe the earth.
22 [a]As for you, stop worrying about mortals,
in whose nostrils is but a breath;
for of what worth are they?
Footnotes
- 2:22 The meaning of this verse, certainly a later addition, is not clear. It is not addressed to God but to a plural subject.
