²³ And they shall comfort you, when ye see their way and their doings; and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹² For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and haughty, and for all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low:

¹³ For all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,

¹⁴ For all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,

¹⁵ For every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,

¹⁶ For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.

¹⁷ The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
