New International Version NIV
12 For a day belonging to the Lord of Hosts is [coming] against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up-it will be humbled-
12
The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),
13 against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,
13
for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty, and all the oaks of Bashan,
14 against all the high mountains, against all the lofty hills,
14
for all the towering mountains and all the high hills,
15 against every high tower, against every fortified wall,
15
for every lofty tower and every fortified wall,
16 against every ship of Tarshish, and against every splendid sea vessel.
16
for every trading shipand every stately vessel.
17 So human pride will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.
17
The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
18 The idols will vanish completely.
18
and the idols will totally disappear.
19 People will go into caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the Lord and from His majestic splendor, when He rises to terrify the earth.
19
People will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from the fearful presence of the LORDand the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.
20 On that day people will throw their silver and gold idols, which they made to worship, to the moles and the bats.
20
In that day people will throw away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.
21 They will go into the caves of the rocks and the crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the Lord and from His majestic splendor, when He rises to terrify the earth.
21
They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging crags from the fearful presence of the LORDand the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.
22 Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. What is he really worth?
22
Stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem?
