13. He will cut down the tall cedars of Lebanonand all the mighty oaks of Bashan.
14. He will level all the high mountainsand all the lofty hills.
15. He will break down every high towerand every fortified wall.
16. He will destroy all the great trading shipsand every magnificent vessel.
17. Human pride will be humbled,and human arrogance will be brought down.Only the lord will be exaltedon that day of judgment.
18. Idols will completely disappear.
19. When the lord rises to shake the earth,his enemies will crawl into holes in the ground.They will hide in caves in the rocksfrom the terror of the lordand the glory of his majesty.
20. On that day of judgment they will abandon the gold and silver idolsthey made for themselves to worship.They will leave their gods to the rodents and bats,
21. while they crawl away into cavernsand hide among the jagged rocks in the cliffs.They will try to escape the terror of the lordand the glory of his majestyas he rises to shake the earth.
22. Don’t put your trust in mere humans.They are as frail as breath.What good are they?
