8 The high places of xAven, dthe sin of Israel,
shall be destroyed.
eThorn and thistle shall grow up
on their altars,
and fthey shall say to the mountains, “Cover us,”
and to the hills, “Fall on us.”
16 qcalling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of rhim who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
19 mAnd people shall enter the caves of the rocks
and the holes of the ground,1
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
nwhen he rises to terrify the earth.
