The Day of Yahweh

5 House of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.

6 For you have forsaken your people, house of Jacob,

because they are fulld from the east,

and of soothsayers like the Philistines,

and ⌊they make alliances⌋e with the offspring of foreigners.

7 And its land is filled with silver and gold,

and there is no end to its treasures;

and its land is filled with horses,

and there is no end to its chariots.

8 Its land is filled with idols;

they bow down to the work of theirf hands,

to what they made with theirg fingers.

9 So humanity is humbled;

everyone is humbled,

and you must not forgive them.

10 Enter into the rock

and hide yourself in the dust

from the presence of the terror of Yahweh

and from the glory of his majesty.

11 The ⌊haughty eyes⌋h of humanity willi be brought low,

and the pride of everyone will be humbled,

and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.

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,j

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⌋k to terrify the earth.

20 On that day humanity will throw away its idols of silver

and its idols of gold,

which they made for it to worship,

to the rodentsl and to the bats—

21 to enter into the crevices of the rocks

and into the clefts of the crags

from the presence of the terror of Yahweh

and from the glory of his majesty,

⌊when he rises⌋m to terrify the earth.

22 Turn away from humanity,

who has breath in its nostrils,n

for byo what is it esteemed?
