12 The Lord Almighty has a dayv in store

for all the proudw and lofty,x

for all that is exaltedy

(and they will be humbled),z

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

and all the oaks of Bashan,c

14 for all the towering mountains

and all the high hills,d

15 for every lofty towere

and every fortified wall,f

16 for every trading shipb g

and every stately vessel.

17 The arrogance of man will be brought lowh

and human pride humbled;i

the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,j

18 and the idolsk will totally disappear.l

19 People will flee to cavesm in the rocks

and to holes in the groundn

from the fearful presenceo of the Lord

and the splendor of his majesty,p

when he rises to shake the earth.q

20 In that dayr people will throw away

to the moles and batss

their idols of silver and idols of gold,t

which they made to worship.u

21 They will flee to caverns in the rocksv

and to the overhanging crags

from the fearful presence of the Lord

and the splendor of his majesty,w

when he risesx to shake the earth.y

22 Stop trusting in mere humans,z

who have but a breatha in their nostrils.

Why hold them in esteem?b
