For the day of the LORD of Hosts shall go over all pride and presumption, upon all them that exalt themselves, and shall bring them all down: upon all high and stout Cedar trees of Lebanon, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, upon all high hills, and upon all stout mountains, upon all costly towers, and upon all strong walls, upon all ships of Tarshish, and upon everything that is glorious and pleasant to look upon.
