Isaiah 31:7

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"For in that day they shall cast away every man his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin." — Isaiah 31:7 (ASV)

In that day every man shall cast away ... — The act is the same as that of Isaiah 2:20, but with a marked difference of motive: there it springs from the terror of despair, here from the repentance which is the ground of hope.
