16. Against all the ships of Tarshishand all stately vessels.
17. Then human pride shall be abased,the arrogance of mortals brought low,And the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.
18. The idols will vanish completely.
19. People will go into caves in the rocksand into holes in the earth,At the terror of the Lordand the splendor of his majesty,as he rises to overawe the earth.
20. On that day people shall throw to moles and batstheir idols of silver and their idols of goldwhich they made for themselves to worship.
21. And they shall go into caverns in the rocksand into crevices in the cliffs,At the terror of the Lordand the splendor of his majesty,as he rises to overawe the earth.
22. As for you, stop worrying about mortals,in whose nostrils is but a breath;for of what worth are they?
