23:002:005 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk
in the light of the
lord.
23:002:006 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people
the house of Jacob,
because
they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers
like
the Philistines, and they please themselves in the
children
of strangers.
23:002:007 Their land also is full of silver and gold,
neither is there
any
end of their treasures; their land is also full of
horses,
neither
is there any end of their chariots:
23:002:008 Their land also is full of idols; they
worship the work of
their
own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
23:002:009 And the mean man boweth down, and the great
man humbleth
himself:
therefore forgive them not.
23:002:010 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the
dust, for fear of
the
lord, and for the glory of his majesty.
23:002:011 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled,
and the haughtiness
of
men shall be bowed down, and the lord alone shall
be
exalted
in that day.
23:002:012 For the day of the lord of hosts shall
be upon every one that
is
proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted
up; and
he
shall be brought low:
23:002:013 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that
are high and lifted
up,
and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
23:002:014 And upon all the high mountains, and upon
all the hills that
are
lifted up,
23:002:015 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
23:002:016 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and
upon all pleasant
pictures.
23:002:017 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed
down, and the
haughtiness
of men shall be made low: and the lord alone
shall
be
exalted in that day.
23:002:018 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
23:002:019 And they shall go into the holes of the
rocks, and into the
caves
of the earth, for fear of the lord, and for the
glory of
his
majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
23:002:020 In that day a man shall cast his idols
of silver, and his
idols
of gold, which they made each one for himself to
worship,
to the moles and to the bats;
23:002:021 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and
into the tops of the
ragged
rocks, for fear of the lord, and for the glory
of his
majesty,
when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
23:002:022 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his
nostrils: for
wherein
is he to be accounted of?
23:003:001 For, behold, the Lord, the lord of
hosts, doth take away from
Jerusalem
and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole
stay
of bread, and the whole stay of water.
