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

¹⁵ Listen and give heed, do not be ^(A)haughty,
For the Lord has spoken.
^16 (B)Give glory to the Lord your God,
Before He brings ^(C)darkness
And before your ^(D)feet stumble
On the dusky mountains,
And while you are hoping for light
He makes it into ^(E)deep darkness,
And turns it into gloom.
¹⁷ But ^(F)if you will not listen to it,
My soul will ^(G)sob in secret for such pride;
And my eyes will bitterly weep
And flow down with tears,
Because the ^(H)flock of the Lord has been taken captive.
