Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
The Lord of hosts shall lop the bough - literally, the beautiful branch х pu'raah (H6288), from paa'ar (H6286), to beautify].
The high ones of stature - `the upright stem,' as distinguished from the previous 'boughs' (Horsley).
