¹² and whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.

⁵ In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace;

⁶ and greater grace he doth give, wherefore he saith, `God against proud ones doth set Himself up, and to lowly ones He doth give grace?'

¹¹ because every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'

¹⁴ I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'

⁴ whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the reign of the heavens.

²³ The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit upholdeth honour.

³⁷ `Now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and exalting and honouring the King of the heavens, for all His works `are' truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is able to humble.'

¹⁵ For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and holy `is' His name: `In the high and holy place I dwell, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,'

²⁹ For they have made low, And thou sayest, `Lift up.' And the bowed down of eyes he saveth.

⁵¹ He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,

⁵² He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,

³ `Happy the poor in spirit -- because theirs is the reign of the heavens.

¹⁸ Before destruction `is' pride, And before stumbling -- a haughty spirit.'

¹⁹ Better is humility of spirit with the poor, Than to apportion spoil with the proud.

³³ The fear of Jehovah `is' the instruction of wisdom, And before honour `is' humility!

⁶ For high `is' Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.
