8. Their land is filled with idols;they worship their handiwork,what their own fingers have made.
9. Humanity will be brought down;each person laid low—don’t lift them up!
10. Go into the rocks,and hide yourself in the dust from the terror of the Lord, from the splendor of God’s majesty!
11. People’s proud gazing will be stoppedand humanity’s arrogance brought down;the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.
12. The Lord of heavenly forces has planned a day:against all that is prideful and haughty;against all that is lofty, and it will be laid low;
13. against all the cedars of Lebanon, high and lofty;against all the oaks of Bashan;
14. against all the high mountains;against all the lofty hills;
15. against every tall tower;against every fortified wall;
16. against all the ships of Tarshish;against all the wonderful boats.
17. People’s pride will be brought downand human arrogance humiliated.The Lord alone will be exalted on that day;
18. the idols will completely pass away.
19. Go into caves in the rocksand holes in the dustbefore the terror of the Lordand the splendor of God’s majesty,when he arises to terrify the earth.
