The LORD of hosts has planned it, to defile the pride of all beauty,God has just said that He will destroy a city, one of the main trading hubs of the time. This is something on the scale of New York City or Miami or Singapore today. Its loss will be a huge blow to the "world" economy.
To despise all the honored of the earth.
Why does He do this? Why allow all that suffering and deprivation? Because the people have become vain, and God is showing them that all they have is fleeting and perishable. He's knocking them down a peg, in the hopes of them realizing that He is the powerful one.
