For the Lord of hosts has a day

against all that is proud and lofty,

against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low;

against all the cedars of Lebanon,

lofty and lifted up;

and against all the oaks of Bashan;

The Lord Almighty has a day in store

for all the proud and lofty,

for all that is exalted

(and they will be humbled),

for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty,

and all the oaks of Bashan,

For a day belonging to the Lord of Armies is coming

against all that is proud and lofty,

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

against all the cedars of Lebanon,

lofty and lifted up,

against all the oaks of Bashan,

and bring down everything that is exalted.

and all the mighty oaks of Bashan.

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,

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

and against all the large trees of Bashan,

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:

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

And upon all the oaks of Bashan,
