“Through your servants you have reproached the Lord,
And you have said, ‘With my many chariots I came up to the heights of the mountains,
To the remotest parts of Lebanon;
And I cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypresses.
And I will go to its highest peak, its thickest forest.
This is the word that the Lord has spoken against him:

The virgin daughter of Zion;
She has shaken her head behind you,
The daughter of Jerusalem!

The high ones

“Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
Though his height was like the height of cedars
And he was strong as the oaks;
I even destroyed his fruit above and his root below.

And the haughty

And the loftiness of man will be humbled,
And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
“Pour out the overflowings of your anger,
And look on everyone who is proud, and make him low.

Against all the oaks of Bashan,

At the lifting up of Yourself nations disperse.
