5
Come, house of Jacob, and let’s walk in the light of the Lord.
6
For 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.
They also strike bargains with the children of foreigners.
7
Their 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.
8
Their land has also been filled with idols;
They worship the work of their hands,
That which their fingers have made.
9
So the common person has been humbled
And the person of importance has been brought low,
But do not forgive them.
10
Enter the rocky place and hide in the dust
From the terror of the Lord and from the splendor of His majesty.
11
The proud look of humanity will be brought low,
And the arrogance of people will be humbled;
And the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.
12
For the Lord of armies will have a day of reckoning
Against 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 oaks of Bashan,
14
Against all the lofty mountains,
Against all the hills that are lifted up,
15
Against every high tower,
Against every fortified wall,
16
Against all the 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,
18
And the idols will completely vanish.
19
People will go into caves of the rocks
And into holes in the ground
Away from the terror of the Lord
And the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to terrify the earth.
20
On that day people will throw away to the moles and the bats
Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
Which they made for themselves to worship,
21
In order to go into the clefts of the rocks and the crannies of the cliffs
Before the terror of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to terrify the earth.
22
Take no account of man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils;
For why should he be esteemed?
