10 O ye wicked ones, enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for the fear of the Lord and the glory of his majesty shall smite thee.

“Enter into the rock and hide”

To say that men shall go into the holes of the rocks and into the caves of the earth is very descriptive of some areas of the Middle East. Many poor, then and now, live amid the caves and rocks. Often in history, men would flee to the mountains to hide in the rocks when threatened by destruction or war. The Qumran community hid the Dead Sea Scrolls in caves.
