¹²Because the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and highminded, and upon every one that is arrogant, and he shall be humbled.

¹³And upon all the tall and lofty cedars of Libanus, and upon all the oaks of Basan.

¹⁴And upon all the high mountains and upon all the elevated hills.

¹⁵And upon every high tower, and every fenced wall.

¹⁶And upon all the ships of Tharsis, and upon all that is fair to behold.

¹⁷And the loftiness of men shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

¹⁸And idols shall be utterly destroyed.

¹⁹And they shall go into the holes of rocks, and into the caves of the earth from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.

²⁰In that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which he had made for himself to adore, moles and bats.

²¹And he shall go into the clefts of rocks, and into the holes of stones from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.

²²Cease ye therefore from the man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he is reputed high.
