And the contumely of men shall be humbled and shall fall, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day;627 and all things made by hands they shall hide in dens, and in holes of the rocks, and in caves of the earth, from before the fear of the Lord, and from the majesty of His power, when He arises to crush the earth: for in that day a man shall cast away the abominations of gold and silver, the vain and evil things which they made for worship, in order to go into the clefts of the solid rock, and into the holes of the rocks, from before the fear of the Lord, and from the majesty of His power, when He arises to break the earth in pieces.628 627 [Ver. 18, though very relevant, is omitted: “And the idols shalt utterly pass away.”—R.] 628 Isa. ii. 5–21. [The variations from the Hebrew are quite numerous; compare the English versions.— R.] 208 Of the Predicted Rejection of Idols.
