God Will Most Definitely Settle Accounts With The Proud and Lofty …….

.

We discussed here that God will deal with the proud and haughty. Isaiah makes it clear that, even though it is not obvious to people now, and even though it may seem slow in coming, a specific day of reckoning for the unrepentant proud will come. Proud mankind will think everything is going well, until the tables are instantly turned.

Isaiah 2:12-22

¹²For the Lord of hosts will have a day of reckoning
Against everyone who is proud and lofty
And against everyone who is lifted up,
That he may be abased.

…..

¹⁷The pride of man will be humbled
And the loftiness of men will be abased;
And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
¹⁸But the idols will completely vanish.

¹⁹Men will go into caves of the rocks
And into holes of the ground
Before the terror of the Lord
And the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to make the earth tremble.

²⁰In that day men will cast away to the moles and the bats
Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
Which they made for themselves to worship,
²¹In order to go into the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs
Before the terror of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to make the earth tremble.

²²Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils;
For why should he be esteemed?
