New Testament

Isaiah 2:11-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. The lofty eyes of man have been humbled, and the haughtiness of men will be bowed down. Then the Lord alone shall be exalted, in that day.

12. For the day of the Lord of hosts will prevail over all the proud and self-exalted, and over all the arrogant, and each one shall be humbled,

13. and over all the straight and tall cedars of Lebanon, and over all the oaks of Bashan;

14. and over all the lofty mountains, and over all the elevated hills;

15. and over every lofty tower, and over every fortified wall;

16. and over all the ships of Tarshish, and over all the beauty that may be seen.

17. And the loftiness of men will be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men will be brought low. And the Lord alone shall be exalted, in that day.

18. And idols will be thoroughly crushed.

19. And they will go into the caves of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, from the presence of the dread of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he will have risen up to strike the earth.

20. In that day, man shall cast aside his idols of silver and his images of gold, which he had made for himself, as if to reverence the moles and the bats.

21. And so he will go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of stone, from the presence of the dread of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he will have risen up to strike the earth.

22. Therefore, rest away from man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he considers himself to be exalted.
