¹¹ But let the greatest among you be your servant.

¹² And whoever makes himself high will be made low, and whoever makes himself low will be made high.

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.

¹⁰ Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him.

¹¹ For every man who gives himself a high place will be put down, but he who takes a low place will be lifted up.

²⁶ Let it not be so among you: but if anyone has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant;

¹ <A Song of the going up. Of David.> Lord, there is no pride in my heart and my eyes are not lifted up; and I have not taken part in great undertakings, or in things over-hard for me.

² See, I have made my soul calm and quiet, like a child on its mother's breast; my soul is like a child on its mother's breast.
