*
For thou hast abandoned thy people ,
the house of Jacob ,
because they are full of more than the east ,
and are soothsayers like the Philistines ,
and with the children of strangers they unite themselves .
*
And full became their land of silver and gold ,
and there is no end to their treasures ;
and full became their land of horses ,
and there is no end to their chariots ;
*
And full became their land of idols ;
to the work of their own hands they bow themselves ,
to what their own fingers have made .
*
And so is bent down the son of earth ,
and humbled the man ;
and thou wilt not forgive them .
*
Enter into the rock ,
and hide thee in the dust ,
because of the dread of the Lord ,
and because of the glory of his majesty .
*
The looks of human pride shall be humbled ,
and the haughtiness of men shall be bent down :
and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day .
*
For there is a day unto the Lord of hosts over every proud and lofty one ;
and over every exalted one ,
that he be brought low ;
*
And over all the cedars of the Lebanon ,
the high and exalted ,
and over all the oaks of Bashan ;
*
And over all the high mountains ,
and over all the exalted hills ;
*
And over every high tower ,
and over every fortified wall ;
*
And over all the ships of Tharshish ;
and over all desirable palaces .
*
And the pride of man shall be bent down ,
and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled :
and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day .
*
And the idols will he utterly abolish .
*
And men shall enter into the caverns of rocks ,
and into the rifts of the earth ,
because of the dread of the Lord ,
and because of the glory of his majesty ,
when he ariseth to terrify the earth .
*
On that day shall a man cast away his idols of silver ,
and his idols of gold ,
which have been made for him to worship ,
to the moles and to the bats ;
*
To enter into the clefts of the rocks ,
and into the hollows of the cliffs ,
because of the dread of the Lord ,
and because of the glory of his majesty ,
when he ariseth to terrify the earth .
*
Withdraw yourselves from man ,
whose breath is in his nostrils ;
because ,
for what is he to be esteemed ?
