A Day of Reckoning Coming

12 For the Lord of armies will have a day of reckoning
Against (A)everyone who is arrogant and haughty,
And against everyone who is lifted up,
That he may be brought low.
13 And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up,
Against all the (B)oaks of Bashan,
14 Against all the (C)lofty mountains,
Against all the hills that are lifted up,
15 Against every (D)high tower,
Against every fortified wall,
16 Against all the (E)ships of Tarshish
And against all the delightful ships.
