The Terror of the Day of the Lord

10

Come into the rock, hide in the dust to escape the terror of ADONAI and the glory of his majesty.

11

The proud looks of man will be humiliated; the arrogance of men will be bowed down; and when that day comes, ADONAI alone will be exalted.

12

Yes, ADONAI-Tzva'ot has a day in store for all who are proud and lofty, for all who are lifted high to be humiliated;

13

for all cedars of the L'vanon that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of the Bashan;

14

for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up;

15

for every high tower, for every fortified wall;

16

for every "Tarshish" ship, for every luxurious vessel.

17

The pride of man will be bowed down, the arrogance of men will be humiliated, and when that day comes, ADONAI alone will be exalted.

18

The idols will be completely abolished.

19

People will enter cracks in the rocks and holes in the ground to escape the terror of ADONAI and his glorious majesty, when he sets out to convulse the earth.

20

On that day a man will take hold of his idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, and fling them away to the moles and bats!

21

Then they will enter the cracks in the rocks and the crevices in the cliffs to escape the terror of ADONAI and his glorious majesty, when he sets out to convulse the earth.

22

Stop relying on man, in whose nostrils is a mere breath - after all, he doesn't count for much, does he?
