12 For a day belonging to the Lord of Armies is coming
against all that is proud and lofty,(A)
against all that is lifted up—it will be humbled—
13 against all the cedars of Lebanon,(B)
lofty and lifted up,
against all the oaks of Bashan,(C)
14 against all the high mountains,(D)
against all the lofty hills,
15 against every high tower,(E)
against every fortified wall,
16 against every ship of Tarshish,(F)
and against every splendid sea vessel.
17 The pride of mankind will be brought low,
and human loftiness will be humbled;
the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.(G)

14 the roar of battle will rise against your people,
and all your fortifications will be demolished(A)
in a day of war,
like Shalman’s destruction of Beth-arbel.
Mothers will be dashed to pieces
along with their children.(B)
