10 Enter into the rock,
    and hide in the dust,
from before the terror of Yahweh,
    and from the glory of his majesty.
11 The lofty looks of man will be brought low,
    the arrogance of men will be bowed down,
    and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.

12 For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant,
    and for all that is lifted up;
    and it shall be brought low:
13     for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up,
    for all the oaks of Bashan,
14     for all the high mountains,
    for all the hills that are lifted up,
15     for every lofty tower,
    for every fortified wall,
16     for all the ships of Tarshish,
    and for all pleasant imagery.
17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
    and the arrogance of men shall be brought low;
    and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.

10 Enter into the rock
    and hide yourself in the dust
from the presence of the terror of Yahweh
    and from the glory of his majesty.
11 The haughty eyes[a] of humanity will[b] be brought low,
    and the pride of everyone will be humbled,
and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.
12 For there is a day for Yahweh of hosts
    against all of the proud and the lofty
    and against all that is lifted up and humble,[c]
13 and against all the lofty and lifted up cedars of Lebanon,
    and against all the large trees of Bashan,
14 and against all the high mountains,
    and against all the lofty hills,
15 and against every kind of high tower,
    and against every kind of fortified wall,
16 and against all the ships of Tarshish,
    and against all the ships of desire.
17 And the haughtiness of the people shall be humbled,
    and the pride of everyone shall be brought low,
and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.
