9. And the common man is bowed down [before idols], also the great man is brought low and humbles himself–therefore forgive them not [O Lord].
10. Enter into the rock and hide yourself in the dust from before the terror of the Lord and from the glory of His majesty.
11. The proud looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12. For there shall be a day of the Lord of hosts against all who are proud and haughty and against all who are lifted up–and they shall be brought low–[Zeph. 2:3; Mal. 4:1.]
13. [The wrath of God will begin by coming down] against all the cedars of Lebanon [west of the Jordan] that are high and lifted up, and against all the oaks of Bashan [east of the Jordan],
14. And [after that] against all the high mountains and all the hills that are lifted up,
15. And against every high tower and every fenced wall,
16. And against all the ships of Tarshish and all the picturesque and desirable imagery [designed for mere ornament and luxury].
17. Then the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
