⁹ The Lord has said, In this way I will do damage to the pride of Judah and to the great pride of Jerusalem.

¹⁹ And the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass;

¹¹ In that day you will have no shame on account of all the things in which you did evil against me: for then I will take away from among you those who were lifted up in pride, and you will no longer be lifted up with pride in my holy mountain.

¹⁵ Give ear and let your ears be open; be not lifted up: for these are the words of the Lord.

¹⁶ Give glory to the Lord your God, before he makes it dark, and before your feet are slipping on the dark mountains, and, while you are looking for a light, he makes it into deep dark, into black night.

¹⁷ But if you do not give ear to it, my soul will be weeping in secret for your pride; my eye will be weeping bitterly, streaming with water, because the Lord's flock has been taken away as prisoners.

⁹ It was the purpose of the Lord of armies to put pride to shame, to make sport of the glory of those who are honoured in the earth.

¹⁰ Go into a hole in the rock, covering yourselves with dust, in fear of the Lord, before the glory of his power.

¹¹ The high looks of man will be put to shame, and the pride of men will be made low, and only the Lord will be lifted up in that day.

¹² For the day of the Lord of armies is coming on all the pride of men, and on all who are high and lifted up;

¹³ And on all the high trees of Lebanon, and on all the strong trees of Bashan;

¹⁴ And on all the high mountains, and on all the hills which are lifted up;

¹⁵ And on every high tower, and on every strong wall;

¹⁶ And on all the ships of Tarshish, and on all the fair boats.

¹⁷ And the high looks of man will be put to shame, and the pride of men will be made low: and only the Lord will be lifted up in that day.

⁵ And in the same way, let the younger men be ruled by the older ones. Let all of you put away pride and make yourselves ready to be servants: for God is a hater of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low.

⁶ But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him.

¹⁴ I say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.

² A crusher has come up before your face: keep a good look-out, let the way be watched, make yourself strong, let your power be greatly increased.

⁵⁶ Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,

⁵⁰ They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.

⁵ Our attackers are on our necks: overcome with weariness, we have no rest.

⁶ We have given our hands to the Egyptians and to the Assyrians so that we might have enough bread.

⁷ Our fathers were sinners and are dead; and the weight of their evil-doing is on us.

⁸ Servants are ruling over us, and there is no one to make us free from their hands.

²⁹ We have had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride; and his great opinion of himself, and that his heart is lifted up.

⁴ And when the vessel, which he was forming out of earth, got damaged in the hand of the potter, he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make it.

⁵ Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

⁶ O Israel, am I not able to do with you as this potter does? says the Lord. See, like earth in the potter's hand are you in my hands, O Israel.

⁶ We have had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride and passion: his high words about himself are false.

¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction, and a stiff spirit before a fall.

¹⁰ See now the Great Beast, whom I made, even as I made you; he takes grass for food, like the ox.

¹¹ His strength is in his body, and his force in the muscles of his stomach.

¹² His tail is curving like a cedar; the muscles of his legs are joined together.
