Isaiah 2:21

21 while they crawl away into caverns and hide among the jagged rocks in the cliffs. They will try to escape the terror of the LORD and the glory of his majesty as he rises to shake the earth.

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 When the LORD rises to shake the earth, his enemies will crawl into holes in the ground. They will hide in caves in the rocks from the terror of the LORD and the glory of his majesty.

20 On that day of judgment they will abandon the gold and silver idols they made for themselves to worship. They will leave their gods to the rodents and bats,

21 while they crawl away into caverns and hide among the jagged rocks in the cliffs. They will try to escape the terror of the LORD and the glory of his majesty as he rises to shake the earth.

22 Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they?
