(B)from before the terror of the Lord,

    and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

    against all that is proud and lofty,
    against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low;
13 against all the (E)cedars of Lebanon,
    lofty and lifted up;
    and against all the (F)oaks of Bashan;
14 against all (G)the lofty mountains,
    and against all the uplifted hills;
15 against every high tower,
    and against every fortified wall;
16 against all (H)the ships of Tarshish,
    and against all the beautiful craft.
17 (I)And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,
    and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low,
    and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
