                        The haughtiness of men shall be     22  Sever yourselves from such a man,
                           bowed down,                         Whose breath is in his nostrils;
                        And the LORD alone shall be exalted in  For of what account is he?
                           that day.
                                                          Psalm 105:1–6
                     12  For the day of the LORD of hosts

                        Shall come upon everything proud and  O Call upon His name;
                           lofty,                              Make known His deeds among the
                        Upon everything lifted up—               peoples!
                        And it shall be brought low—      2
                     13  Upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are  Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
                           high and lifted up,            3    Talk of all His wondrous works!
                        And upon all the oaks of Bashan;       Glory in His holy name;
                     14  Upon all the high mountains,          Let the hearts of those rejoice who
                                                                 seek the LORD!
                        And upon all the hills that are lifted up;  4
                     15  Upon every high tower,                Seek the LORD and His strength;
                        And upon every fortified wall;    5    Seek His face evermore!
                     16  Upon all the ships of Tarshish,       Remember His marvelous works
                        And upon all the beautiful sloops.       which He has done,
                     17  The loftiness of man shall be bowed   His wonders, and the judgments
                                                                 of His mouth,
                           down,                          6
                        And the haughtiness of men shall be    O seed of Abraham His servant,
                                                               You children of Jacob, His chosen
                           brought low;                          ones!
                        The LORD alone will be exalted in that
                           day,                           Proverbs 24:23–25
                        But the idols He shall utterly abolish.

                                                            23 These things also belong to the wise:
                     19  They shall go into the holes of the
                           rocks,                              It is not good to show partiality in
                        And into the caves of the earth,         judgment.
                                                            24
                        From the terror of the LORD            He who says to the wicked, “You are
                        And the glory of His majesty,            righteous,”
                        When He arises to shake the earth      Him the people will curse;
                           mightily.                           Nations will abhor him.
                                                               But those who rebuke the wicked will

                                                               And a good blessing will come upon
                                                                 them.
