28 For the day of the Lord of hosts soon cometh upon all nations; yea, upon every one; yea, upon the proud and lofty, and upon every one who is lifted up; and he shall be brought low;

29 Yea, and the day of the Lord shall come upon all the cedars of Lebanon, for they are high and lifted up; and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

30 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills, and upon all the nations which are lifted up,

31 And upon every people, and upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

32 And upon all the ships of the sea, and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

33 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

34 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

35 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for the fear of the Lord shall come upon them: and the glory of his majesty shall smite them, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

36 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which he hath made for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

37 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for the fear of the Lord shall come upon them, and the majesty of his glory shall smite them when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

38 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?
