10 (A)Enter the rock and hide in the dust
(B)From the dread of Yahweh and from the splendor of His majesty.
11 The [a](C)lofty look of [b]man will be made low,
And the [c](D)men made high will be bowed down,
And Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.

12 For Yahweh of hosts will have a day of reckoning
Against (E)everyone who is proud and high
And against everyone who is lifted up,
That he may be made low.
13 And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,
Against all the (F)oaks of Bashan,
14 Against all the (G)high mountains,
Against all the hills that are lifted up,
15 Against every (H)lofty tower,
Against every fortified wall,
16 Against all the (I)ships of Tarshish
And against all the desirable craft.
17 The loftiness of [d]man will be bowed down,
And the [e]men who are high will be made low;
And Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day,

10 Crawl into caves in the rocks.
    Hide in the dust
from the terror of the Lord
    and the glory of his majesty.
11 Human pride will be brought down,
    and human arrogance will be humbled.
Only the Lord will be exalted
    on that day of judgment.

12 For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
    has a day of reckoning.
He will punish the proud and mighty
    and bring down everything that is exalted.
13 He will cut down the tall cedars of Lebanon
    and all the mighty oaks of Bashan.
14 He will level all the high mountains
    and all the lofty hills.
15 He will break down every high tower
    and every fortified wall.
16 He will destroy all the great trading ships[a]
    and every magnificent vessel.
17 Human pride will be humbled,
    and human arrogance will be brought down.
