10 Enter into the rock,
    and hide in the dust
from before the terror of the Lord,
    and from the glory of his majesty.
11 The haughty looks of man shall be brought low,
    and the pride of men shall be humbled;
and the Lord alone will be exalted
    in that day.

12 For the Lord of hosts has a day
    against all that is proud and lofty,
    against all that is lifted up and high;[a]
13 against all the cedars of Lebanon,
    lofty and lifted up;
    and against all the oaks of Bashan;
14 against all the high mountains,
    and against all the lofty hills;
15 against every high tower,
    and against every fortified wall;
16 against all the ships of Tarshish,
    and against all the beautiful craft.
17 And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,
    and the pride of men shall be brought low;
    and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

  1. Isaiah 2:12 Cn Compare Gk: Heb low

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

12 For [a]there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low; 13 and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 14 and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, 15 and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified wall, 16 and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant [b]imagery. 17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
