8. Their land is full of idols;the people worship things they have madewith their own hands.
9. So now they will be humbled,and all will be brought low—do not forgive them.
10. Crawl into caves in the rocks.Hide in the dustfrom the terror of the lordand the glory of his majesty.
11. Human pride will be brought down,and human arrogance will be humbled.Only the lord will be exaltedon that day of judgment.
12. For the lord of Heaven’s Armieshas a day of reckoning.He will punish the proud and mightyand bring down everything that is exalted.
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.
