6  For you have rejected your people,

the house of Jacob,

because they are full of things from the east

and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines,

and they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

7  ^oTheir land is filled with silver and gold,

and there is no end to their treasures;

their land is filled with horses,

and there is no end to their chariots.

8  Their land is filled with idols;

they bow down to the work of their hands,

to ^pwhat their own fingers have made.

9  So ^qman is humbled,

and each one is brought low—

do not forgive them!

10  ^rEnter into the rock

and hide in the dust

from before the terror of the Lord,

and ^sfrom the splendor of his majesty.

11  The haughty looks of man shall be brought low,

and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled,

and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

12  ^tFor the Lord of hosts has a day

against all that is proud and lofty,

against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low;

13  ^uagainst all the cedars of Lebanon,

lofty and lifted up;

and against all the oaks of Bashan;

14  against all the lofty mountains,

and against all the uplifted hills;

15  against every high tower,

and against every fortified wall;

16  against all the ^vships of ^wTarshish,

and against all the beautiful craft.

17  And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,

and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low,

and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

18  And the idols shall utterly pass away.

19  And people shall enter the caves of the rocks

and the holes of the ground,¹

from before the terror of the Lord,

and from the splendor of his majesty,

when he rises to terrify the earth.

20  ^xIn that day mankind will cast away

their idols of silver and their idols of gold,

which they made for themselves to worship,

to the moles and to the bats,

21  to enter the caverns of the rocks

and the clefts of the cliffs,

from before the terror of the Lord,

and from the splendor of his majesty,

when he rises to terrify the earth.

22  Stop regarding man

in whose nostrils is breath,

for of what account is he?
