And I will visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.
For behold the day shall come kindled as a furnace: and all the proud, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall set them on fire, saith the Lord of hosts, it shall not leave them root, nor branch.
Thou shalt say: O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place to destroy it, so that there should be neither man nor beast to dwell therein and that it should be desolate for ever.
Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts shall break the earthen vessel with terror. And the tall of stature shall be cut down: and the lofty shall be humbled.
Therefore is my people led away captive, because they had not knowledge: and their nobles have perished with famine, and their multitude were dried up with thirst.
Because the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and highminded, and upon every one that is arrogant: and he shall be humbled.
