Because of the pride of evil men.

Let them even be trapped in their pride,

And on account of the curses and lies which they tell.

Pride and arrogance and the evil way,

And the perverted mouth, I hate.

Pride goes before destruction,

And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Go among the rocks and hide in the dust

From the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty.

They [the stricken, deprived of all in which they had trusted] will go into the caves of the rocks

And into the holes of the ground [fleeing]

From the terror and dread of the LORD

And from the splendor of His majesty,

When He arises to terrify the earth.

To go into the caverns of the rocks and into the clefts of the [ragged] cliffs [as they flee]

From the terror and dread of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty,

When He arises to terrify the earth.

In that day the Branch of the LORD will be splendid and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be excellent and lovely to those of Israel who have survived.

In this way I will punish the world for its evil

And the wicked for their wickedness [their sin, their injustice, their wrongdoing];

And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the [fn]Chaldeans’ pride,

Will be like Sodom and Gomorrah when God overthrew them.

‘Your pomp and magnificence have been brought down to Sheol,

Along with the music of your harps;

The maggots [which prey on the dead] are spread out under you [as a bed]

And worms are your covering [Babylonian rulers].’

Then how can you compete with horses?

If you fall down in a land of peace [where you feel secure],

Then how will you do [among the lions] in the [flooded] thicket beside the Jordan?

“We have heard of the [giddy] pride of Moab, the extremely proud one—

His haughtiness, his arrogance, his conceit, and his self-exaltation.

I will appoint over Babylon the one whom I choose. For who is like Me, and who will summon Me [into court] and prosecute Me [for this]? Who is the [earthly] shepherd who can stand [defiantly] before Me?”

‘Thus says the LORD,

They will fall within her by the sword,”

Says the Lord GOD.

“In Tehaphnehes the day will be dark

When I break the yoke bars and dominion of Egypt there.

A cloud [of disasters] will cover her,

And her daughters will go into captivity.

And they will devastate the pride and presumption of Egypt,

And all its hordes will be destroyed.

But the pride and self-reliance of Israel testifies against him.

Therefore Israel, and [especially] [fn]Ephraim, stumble and fall in their wickedness and guilt;

[fn]Judah also has stumbled with them.

Though the pride of Israel testifies against him,

Yet they do not return [in repentance] to the LORD their God,

Nor seek nor search for nor desire Him [as essential] in spite of all this.

The Lord [fn]GOD has sworn [an oath] by Himself—the LORD God of hosts, says:

“I loathe and reject the [self-centered] arrogance of Jacob (Israel),

And I hate his palaces and citadels;

Therefore, I shall hand over the [idolatrous] city [of Samaria] with all that it contains [to the Assyrian invaders].”

The LORD has sworn [an oath] by the pride of Jacob,

“Surely I shall never forget [nor leave unpunished] any of their [rebellious] acts.

And He shall stand and shepherd and guide His flock

In the strength of the LORD,

In the majesty of the name of the LORD His God;

And they shall dwell [secure in undisturbed peace],

Because at that time He shall be great [extending His authority]

[Even] to the ends of the earth.

For the LORD will restore the splendor and majesty of Jacob

Like the splendor of [ancient and united] Israel,

Even though destroyers have destroyed them

And ruined their vine branches.

And I will put an end to the pride and arrogance of the Philistines.

And He will strike the waves in the sea,

So that all the depths of the Nile will dry up;

And the scepter [of the taskmasters] of Egypt will pass away.

There is a sound of the shepherds’ wail,

For their splendor (grazing land) is ruined;

There is a sound of the young lions’ roar,

For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
