20 On that day people will (A)throw away to the moles and the (B)bats
Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
Which they made for themselves to worship,
21 In order to (C)go into the clefts of the rocks and the crannies of the cliffs
Before the terror of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to terrify the earth.
22 [a](D)Take no account of man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils;
For [b](E)why should he be esteemed?
