²⁵ The house of the man of pride will be uprooted by the Lord, but he will make safe the heritage of the widow.

⁹ The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.

¹⁰ Do not let the landmark of the widow be moved, and do not go into the fields of those who have no father;

¹¹ The house of the sinner will be overturned, but the tent of the upright man will do well.

⁷ Evil-doers are overturned and never seen again, but the house of upright men will keep its place.

⁵ A father to those who have no father, a judge of the widows, is God in his holy place.

⁶ Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.

²⁷ The religion which is holy and free from evil in the eyes of our God and Father is this: to take care of children who have no fathers and of widows who are in trouble, and to keep oneself untouched by the world.

¹⁷ For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, strong in power and greatly to be feared, who has no respect for any man's position and takes no rewards:

¹⁸ Judging uprightly in the cause of the widow and of the child who has no father, and giving food and clothing in his mercy to the man from a strange country.

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.

²⁰ But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became hard with pride, he was put down from his place as king, and they took his glory from him:

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;

⁶ Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.

⁵ But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah.)

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.

¹³ His bones are pipes of brass, his legs are like rods of iron.

¹⁴ Your neighbour's landmark, which was put in its place by the men of old times, is not to be moved or taken away in the land of your heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech.> Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?
