⁵ Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

²⁰ Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son.

²⁷ For thou wilt save the afflicted people; But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.

¹³ There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.

³ He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;

³⁷ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

³ The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

⁴ Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah.

¹⁴ I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹¹ but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat.

¹¹ Women in like manner `must be' grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

³ that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

⁵ Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

⁶ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;

⁹ Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood; and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they have committed lewdness.

¹¹ The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.

¹ Thou shalt not take up a false report: put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am Jehovah.

³ Talk no more so exceeding proudly; Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth; For Jehovah is a God of knowledge, And by him actions are weighed.

¹¹ Pour forth the overflowings of thine anger; And look upon every one that is proud, and abase him.

¹² Look on every one that is proud, `and' bring him low; And tread down the wicked where they stand.

² In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.

³ For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, And the covetous renounceth, `yea', contemneth Jehovah.

⁴ The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, `saith', He will not require `it'. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

⁶ For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

¹⁶ There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:

¹⁷ Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;

¹⁸ A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,

¹⁹ A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.

¹⁸ He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.

¹⁹ He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; Therefore company not with him that openeth wide his lips.

²³ The north wind bringeth forth rain: So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
