6. Our Lord, you have desertedyour people, Israel,because they follow customsof nations from the east.They worship Philistine godsand are close friendsof foreigners.
7. They have endless treasuresof silver and gold;they have countless horsesand war chariots.
8. Everywhere in the countrythey worship the idolsthey have made.
9. And so, all of themwill be ashamed and disgraced.Don't help them!
10. Every one of you,hide among the rocksand in the ground,because the Lord is fearsome,marvellous, and glorious.
11. When the Lord comes,everyone who is proudwill be made humble,and the Lord alonewill be honoured.
12. The Lord All-Powerfulhas chosen a daywhen those who are proudand conceitedwill be put down.
13. The tall and toweringcedars of Lebanonwill be destroyed.So will the oak trees of Bashan,
14. all high mountains and hills,
15. every strong fortress,
16. all the seagoing ships,and every beautiful boat.
