Isaiah 2:21 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 2:21

To go into the clifts of the rocks, and into the tops of
the ragged rocks
That is, the idolaters shall either go there themselves; or they shall cause their idols to go there, thither they shall cast them; though the former sense seems the best, because of what follows, for fear of the Lord (See Gill on Isaiah 2:10) (See Gill on Isaiah 2:19).

Isaiah 2:21 In-Context

19 And men shall enter the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
20 In that day men will cast forth their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
21 to enter the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
22 Turn away from man in whose nostrils is breath, for of what account is he?
