For you have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the east and they practice divination like the Philistines, and they shake hands with sons of foreigners. Their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no limit to their wealth; their land also is full of horses, nor is there limit to their chariots. Their land also is full of idols; they worship the craftsmanship of their own hands, things that their own fingers have made. People bow down, and men abase themselves. So do not raise them up. Go into the rocky places and hide in the ground from the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty. The lofty gaze of man will be abased, and the haughtiness of men will be brought down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day. For there will be a day of Yahweh of hosts against everyone who is proud and raised up, and against everyone who is arrogant—and he will be abased— and against all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up, and against all the oaks of Bashan. That day of Yahweh of hosts will be against all the high mountains, and against all the hills that are lifted up, and against every high tower, and against every impregnable wall, and against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all delightful sailing vessels. The pride of man will be brought down, and the haughtiness of men will be abased; Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day. The idols will completely pass away. Men will go into the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground, from the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth. On that day people will throw away their idols of silver and of gold that they have made for themselves to worship—they will throw them away to the moles and bats. The people will go into the crevices in the rocks and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth. Stop trusting in man, whose life-breath is in his nostrils, for what does he amount to?
