Isaiah

Isaiah 2:14–17

¹⁴against all the tall mountains,

against all the high hills,

¹⁵against every high tower,

against every fortified wall,

¹⁶against every ship of Tarshish,^a

and against every stately vessel.

¹⁷So the pride of man will be brought low,

and the loftiness of men will be humbled;

the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
