“In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; his idols of silver: Heb. the idols of his silver, etc each: or, for him”
Isaiah 2:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 2:20
In desperation, idolaters cast away their silver and gold idols to 'moles and bats'—creatures dwelling in darkness, emphasizing the idols' worthlessness. What was once cherished for worship is now discarded as useless. This dramatic reversal exposes idolatry's futility when crisis reveals false gods cannot save. The imagery anticipates Jesus' teaching that treasure stored on earth proves worthless (Matthew 6:19-20) and Paul's counting all as refuse compared to Christ (Philippians 3:8).
