Isaiah 2:18

Sin

16 against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel.

17 So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

and the idols will vanish completely.

19 Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

20 In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold— the idols they made to worship.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
