19 Então entrarão nas cavernas das rochas, e nos buracos da terra, por causa da temível presença do SENHOR, e por causa de sua majestade, quando ele se levantar, para espantar a terra.

20 Naquele dia, o homem lançará seus ídolos de prata, e seus ídolos de ouro, que fizeram para se prostrarem diante deles, às toupeiras e aos morcegos.

21 E se porão nas fendas das rochas, e nas cavernas das penhas, por causa da temível presença do SENHOR, e por causa da glória de sua majestade, quando ele se levantar para espantar a terra.

22 [Portanto,] cessai de [confiar no] homem, cujo fôlego está em suas narinas; pois o que há nele que mereça se dar algum valor?
