The Terror of the Day of the Lord

10

Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency.

11

The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.

12

For a day is to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,

13

And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,

14

And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,

15

And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall,

16

And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.

17

And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.

18

And the idols--they completely pass away.

19

And men have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.

20

In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,

21

To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.

22

Cease for you from man, Whose breath is in his nostrils, For--in what is he esteemed?
