Isaiah 2:12-15
The Lord who rules over all has set apart a day when he will judge. He has set it apart for all those who are proud and think they are important. He has set it apart for all those who brag about themselves. All of them will be brought low.The Lord has set that day apart for all the cedar trees in Lebanon. They are very tall. He has set that day apart for all the oak trees in Bashan.He has set it apart for all the towering mountains. He has set it apart for all the high hills.He has set it apart for every high tower and every strong wall.

Habakkuk 1:6-10
I am going to send the armies of Babylon to attack you. They are very mean. They move quickly. They sweep across the whole earth. They take over homes that do not belong to them.They terrify others. They do not recognize any laws but their own. That is how proud they are.Their horses are faster than leopards. They are meaner than wolves at sunset. Their horsemen charge straight into battle. They ride in from far away. They come down like an eagle diving for its food.All of them are ready and willing to destroy others. Their huge armies advance like a wind out of the desert. They gather prisoners like sand.They mock kings and make fun of rulers. They laugh at all the cities that have high walls around them. They build dirt ramps against the walls and capture the cities.
