¹² For the Lord of armies will have a day of reckoning
Against ^(E)everyone who is arrogant and haughty,
And against everyone who is lifted up,
That he may be brought low.
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 delightful ships.
¹⁷ And the pride of humanity will be humbled
And the arrogance of people will be brought low;
And the Lord alone will be exalted on that day,

¹⁵ Listen and pay attention, 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 mountains in the dark,
And while you are hoping for light
He makes it into ^(E)gloom,
And turns it into thick darkness.
¹⁷ But ^(F)if you do not listen to it,
My soul will ^(G)weep in secret for such pride;
And my eyes will shed
And stream down tears,
Because the ^(H)flock of the Lord has been taken captive.
