Isaiah 2:17-20

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Isaiah 2:17-20. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted is that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

The worshipper of idols shall be ashamed of them. The precious metal shall not save them - the work of art for which so many plead. "It is true the thing is defiling and idolatrous," say come, "but look at the skill, the taste, the handicraft, the precious metal." When God makes bare his arm, they shall fling even gold and silver to the moles and to the bats.
