6For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob,
         Because they are filled with influences from the east,
         And they are soothsayers like the Philistines,
         And they strike bargains with the children of foreigners.

7Their land has also been filled with silver and gold
         And there is no end to their treasures;
         Their land has also been filled with horses
         And there is no end to their chariots.

8Their land has also been filled with idols;
         They worship the work of their hands,
         That which their fingers have made.

9So the common man has been humbled
         And the man of importance has been abased,
         But do not forgive them.

10Enter the rock and hide in the dust
         From the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty.

11The proud look of man will be abased
         And the loftiness of man will be humbled,
         And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

A Day of Reckoning Coming

12For the LORD of hosts will have a day of reckoning
         Against everyone who is proud and lofty
         And against everyone who is lifted up,
         That he may be abased.

13And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up,
         Against all the oaks of Bashan,

14Against all the lofty mountains,
         Against all the hills that are lifted up,

15Against every high tower,
         Against every fortified wall,

16Against all the ships of Tarshish
         And against all the beautiful craft.

17The pride of man will be humbled
         And the loftiness of men will be abased;
         And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

18But the idols will completely vanish.

19Men will go into caves of the rocks
         And into holes of the ground
         Before the terror of the LORD
         And the splendor of His majesty,
         When He arises to make the earth tremble.

20In that day men will cast away to the moles and the bats
         Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
         Which they made for themselves to worship,

21In order to go into the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs
         Before the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty,
         When He arises to make the earth tremble.

22Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils;
         For why should he be esteemed?
