10 Go and hide in caves in the rocks, you people!
    Hide in holes in the ground.
Hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord!
    Hide when he comes in glory and majesty!
11 Anyone who brags will be brought low.
    Anyone who is proud will be made humble.
    The Lord alone will be honored at that time.

12 The Lord who rules over all has set apart a day when he will judge.
    He has set it apart for all those who are proud and think they are important.
He has set it apart for all those who brag about themselves.
    All of them will be brought low.
13 The Lord has set that day apart for all the cedar trees in Lebanon.
    They are very tall.
    He has set that day apart for all the oak trees in Bashan.
14 He has set it apart for all the towering mountains.
    He has set it apart for all the high hills.
15 He has set it apart for every high tower
    and every strong wall.
16 He has set it apart for every trading ship
    and every beautiful boat.
17 Anyone who brags will be brought low.
    Anyone who is proud will be made humble.
The Lord alone will be honored at that time.
