12 The Lord Almighty has a day in store

for all the proud and lofty,

for all that is exalted

(and they will be humbled),

13 for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty,

and all the oaks of Bashan,

14 for all the towering mountains

and all the high hills,

15 for every lofty tower

and every fortified wall,

16 for every trading ship

and every stately vessel.

17 The arrogance of man will be brought low

and human pride humbled;

the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,

18 and the idols will totally disappear.

19 People will flee to caves in the rocks

and to holes in the ground

from the fearful presence of the Lord

and the splendor of his majesty,

when he rises to shake the earth.

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty,

And upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up,

And upon all the oaks of Bashan,

14 And upon all the high mountains,

And upon all the hills that are lifted up,

15 And upon every high tower,

And upon every fenced wall,

16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish,

And upon all pleasant pictures.

17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down,

And the haughtiness of men shall be made low:

And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks,

And into the caves of the earth,

For fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty,

When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

12 For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies

has a day of reckoning.

He will punish the proud and mighty

and bring down everything that is exalted.

13 He will cut down the tall cedars of Lebanon

and all the mighty oaks of Bashan.

14 He will level all the high mountains

and all the lofty hills.

15 He will break down every high tower

and every fortified wall.

16 He will destroy all the great trading ships

and every magnificent vessel.

17 Human pride will be humbled,

and human arrogance will be brought down.

Only the Lord will be exalted

on that day of judgment.

18 Idols will completely disappear.

19 When the Lord rises to shake the earth,

his enemies will crawl into holes in the ground.

They will hide in caves in the rocks

from the terror of the Lord

and the glory of his majesty.

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts

Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,

Upon everything lifted up—

And it shall be brought low—

13 Upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,

And upon all the oaks of Bashan;

14 Upon all the high mountains,

And upon all the hills that are lifted up;

15 Upon every high tower,

And upon every fortified wall;

16 Upon all the ships of Tarshish,

And upon all the beautiful sloops.

17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down,

And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;

The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,

18 But the idols He shall utterly abolish.

19 They shall go into the holes of the rocks,

And into the caves of the earth,

From the terror of the Lord

And the glory of His majesty,

When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

12 The Lord All-Powerful has a certain day planned

when he will punish the proud and those who brag,

and they will no longer be important.

13 He will bring down the tall cedar trees from Lebanon

and the great oak trees of Bashan,

14 all the tall mountains

and the high hills,

15 every tall tower

and every high, strong wall,

16 all the trading ships

and the beautiful ships.

17 At that time proud people will be made humble,

and they will bow low with shame.

At that time only the Lord will be praised,

18 but all the idols will be gone.

19 People will run to caves in the rocky cliffs

and will dig holes and hide in the ground

from the anger of the Lord

and his great power,

when he stands to shake the earth.

12 For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low; 13 and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 14 and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, 15 and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified wall, 16 and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant imagery. 17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day. 18 And the idols shall utterly pass away. 19 And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.

12 For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon everything proud and lofty, and upon everything lifted up, and it shall be brought low; 13 and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan; 14 and upon all the lofty mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up; 15 and upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall; 16 and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant works of art. 17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day: 18 and the idols shall utterly pass away. 19 And they shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall arise to terrify the earth.

12 The Lord of Armies will have his day 

against all who are arrogant and conceited 

and all who are proud of themselves (they will be humbled), 

13 against all the towering and mighty cedars of Lebanon 

and all the oaks of Bashan, 

14 against all the high mountains 

and all the lofty hills, 

15 against every high tower 

and every fortified wall, 

16 against all the large ships of Tarshish 

and all the beautiful boats. 

17 Then arrogant people will be brought down, 

and high and mighty people will be humbled. 

On that day the Lord alone will be honored. 

18 Then idols will disappear completely. 

19 People will go into caves in the rocks 

and into holes in the ground 

because of the Lord’s terrifying presence 

and the honor of his majesty 

when he rises to terrify the earth. 

12 For a day belonging to the Lord of Hosts is coming

against all that is proud and lofty,

against all that is lifted up—it will be humbled—

13 against all the cedars of Lebanon,

lofty and lifted up,

against all the oaks of Bashan,

14 against all the high mountains,

against all the lofty hills,

15 against every high tower,

against every fortified wall,

16 against every ship of Tarshish,

and against every splendid sea vessel.

17 So human pride will be brought low,

and the loftiness of men will be humbled;

the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.

18 The idols will vanish completely.

19 People will go into caves in the rocks

and holes in the ground,

away from the terror of the Lord

and from His majestic splendor,

when He rises to terrify the earth.

12 For the Lord of hosts has a day

against all that is proud and lofty,

against all that is lifted up and high;

13 against all the cedars of Lebanon,

lofty and lifted up;

and against all the oaks of Bashan;

14 against all the high mountains,

and against all the lofty hills;

15 against every high tower,

and against every fortified wall;

16 against all the ships of Tarshish,

and against all the beautiful craft.

17 The haughtiness of people shall be humbled,

and the pride of everyone shall be brought low;

and the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.

18 The idols shall utterly pass away.

19 Enter the caves of the rocks

and the holes of the ground,

from the terror of the Lord,

and from the glory of his majesty,

when he rises to terrify the earth.

12 For there is a day for Yahweh of hosts

against all of the proud and the lofty

and against all that is lifted up and humble,

13 and against all the lofty and lifted up cedars of Lebanon,

and against all the large trees of Bashan,

14 and against all the high mountains,

and against all the lofty hills,

15 and against every kind of high tower,

and against every kind of fortified wall,

16 and against all the ships of Tarshish,

and against all the ships of desire.

17 And the haughtiness of the people shall be humbled,

and the pride of everyone shall be brought low,

and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.

18 And the idols shall pass away entirely,

19 and they will enter into the caves of the rocks

and into the holes of the ground

from the presence of the terror of Yahweh

and from the glory of his majesty

when he rises to terrify the earth.

12 The Lord who rules over all has set apart a day when he will judge.

He has set it apart for all those who are proud and think they are important.

He has set it apart for all those who brag about themselves.

All of them will be brought low.

13 The Lord has set that day apart for all of the cedar trees in Lebanon.

They are very tall.

He has set it apart for all of the oak trees in Bashan.

14 He has set it apart for all of the towering mountains.

He has set it apart for all of the high hills.

15 He has set it apart for every high tower

and every strong wall.

16 He has set it apart for every trading ship

and every beautiful boat.

17 A man who brags will be brought low.

Men who are proud will be put to shame.

The Lord alone will be honored at that time.

18 And the statues of gods will totally disappear.

19 People will run and hide in caves in the rocks.

They will go into holes in the ground.

They will run away from the terror of the Lord.

They will run when he comes in glory and majesty.

When he comes, he will shake the earth.

12 For the Lord of hosts will have a day of reckoning

Against everyone who is proud and lofty

And against everyone who is lifted up,

That he may be abased.

13 And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up,

Against all the oaks of Bashan,

14 Against all the lofty mountains,

Against all the hills that are lifted up,

15 Against every high tower,

Against every fortified wall,

16 Against all the ships of Tarshish

And against all the beautiful craft.

17 The pride of man will be humbled

And the loftiness of men will be abased;

And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,

18 But the idols will completely vanish.

19 Men will go into caves of the rocks

And into holes of the ground

Before the terror of the Lord

And the splendor of His majesty,

When He arises to make the earth tremble.
