Isaiah 2:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills,

15 against every high tower, against every fortified wall,

16 against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel.

17 So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

18 and the idols will vanish completely.
