TSK · Isaiah 2:12

Scatter abroad the abundance of your anger. Look at every proud man and bring him low;

The Lord laughs in disgust at them, for he knows that their day is coming.

There are six things that the LORD hates, even seven things that are an abomination to him:

Men will be humiliated, they will be brought low; the proud will be brought low.

Look, the Sovereign LORD of Heaven’s Armies, is ready to cut off the branches with terrifying power. The tallest trees will be cut down, the loftiest ones will be brought low.

Look, the LORD’s day of judgment is coming; it is a day of cruelty and savage, raging anger, destroying the earth and annihilating its sinners.

But you were brought down to Sheol, to the remote slopes of the Pit.

The earth dries up and withers, the world shrivels up and withers; the prominent people of the earth fade away.

He is the one who reduces rulers to nothing; he makes the earth’s leaders insignificant.

“I, the LORD, say:‘This shows how I will ruin the highly exalted position in which Judah and Jerusalem take pride.

“Listen! I am opposed to you, you proud city,” says the Sovereign LORD of Heaven’s Armies.“Indeed, your day of reckoning has come, the time when I will punish you.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, for all his deeds are right and his ways are just. He is able to bring down those who live in pride.

The Lord Demands Justice Woe to those who wish for the day of the LORD! Why do you want the LORD’s day of judgment to come? It will bring darkness, not light.

Look, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the LORD arrives.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

For you know quite well that the day of the Lord will come in the same way as a thief in the night.
