12. The Lord of heaven’s armies has a certain day planned.On that day he will punish the proud and those who brag.They will no longer be important.
13. He will bring down the tall cedar trees from Lebanon.He will destroy the great oak trees of Bashan.
14. He will destroy all the tall mountainsand the high hills.
15. He will knock down every tall towerand every high, strong wall.
16. He will sink all the trading ships.And he will destroy the beautiful ships.
17. At that time proud people will stop being proud.They will bow low with shame.And at that time only the Lord will be praised.
18. But all the idols will be gone.
