11 And I will cut off H3772 the cities H6145 H5892 of thy land, H776 and throw down H2040 all thy strong holds: H4013
For the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 shall be upon every one that is proud H1343 and lofty, H7311 and upon every one that is lifted up; H5375 and he shall be brought low: H8213 And upon all the cedars H730 of Lebanon, H3844 that are high H7311 and lifted up, H5375 and upon all the oaks H437 of Bashan, H1316 And upon all the high H7311 mountains, H2022 and upon all the hills H1389 that are lifted up, H5375 And upon every high H1364 tower, H4026 and upon every fenced H1219 wall, H2346 And upon all the ships H591 of Tarshish, H8659 and upon all pleasant H2532 pictures.
