Jehovah, you have abandoned your people, the descendants of Jacob, because they are filled with Eastern influences. They practice witchcraft like the Philistines, and they make deals with foreigners. Their land is full of silver and gold. There is no limit to their treasures. Their land is also full of horses. There is no limit to their chariots. Their land is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made. read more.
Man has been humbled. Everyman has been humiliated. Do not forgive them. Go in among the rocks and hide underground because of Jehovah's terrifying presence and the magnificence of his majesty. The arrogant people will be humbled. High and mighty people will be brought down. On that day Jehovah alone will be exalted. All who are proud will be humbled. Jehovah of Hosts will have his day against all who are arrogant and conceited. It will also be against all the towering and mighty cedars of Lebanon and all the oaks of Bashan, against all the high mountains and all the lofty hills, against every high tower and every fortified wall, and also against all the large ships of Tarshish and all the beautiful boats. Then arrogant people will be brought down. High and mighty people will be humiliated. On that day Jehovah alone will be honored. Then idols (false gods) will disappear completely. People will go into caves in the rocks and into holes in the ground because of Jehovah's terrifying presence and the honor of his majesty when he rises to shake the earth. That day people will throw their silver and gold idols, that they made for themselves to worship, to the moles and the bats.
