ISA 2:19 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could describe the time relationship more explicitly. Alternate translation: [And they will go into caves of the rocks and into holes of the ground from the face of the terror of Yahweh and from the splendor of his majesty at the same time that he arises to terrify the earth]
