That brings the princes to nothing; he makes the judges of the earth as nothing.
He leads princes away plundered, and overthrows the mighty.
He pours contempt upon princes, and weakens the strength of the mighty.
He pours contempt upon princes, and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is fearful to the kings of the earth.
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
For the day of the LORD of hosts shall come upon everyone that is proud and lofty, and upon everyone that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
The LORD of hosts has purposed it, to defile the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
And I will cut off the judge from its midst, and will slay all its princes with him, says the LORD.
