¹² For there will be a day of Yahweh of Hosts for all that is proud and haughty, And for all that is lifted up; And it shall be brought low:

¹ "For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up," says Yahweh of Hosts, "that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

²⁰ But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

²¹ and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals', and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky; until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whoever he will.

²² You his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,

²³ but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which don't see, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified.

²⁴ Then was the part of the hand sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.

¹⁸ "Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh! Why do you long for the day of Yahweh? It is darkness, And not light.

⁵ Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

¹² Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

¹¹ For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

⁵ are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

² For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

⁶ But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

³⁷ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.

⁵ You have not gone up into the gaps, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Yahweh.

¹⁶ There are six things which Yahweh hates; Yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

¹⁷ Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood;

⁵ Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh: They shall assuredly not be unpunished.

⁶ Wail; for the day of Yahweh is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

⁹ Behold, the day of Yahweh comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy the sinners of it out of it.

⁹ Yahweh of hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

⁴ The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away, the lofty people of the earth do languish.

²¹ It shall happen in that day, that Yahweh will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.

¹⁰ For that day is [a day] of the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

¹¹ Pour forth the fury of your anger. Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low.

¹² Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
