Pride

“Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord God,
“Because your heart is lifted up
And you have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of gods
In the heart of the seas’;
Yet you are a man and not God,
Although you make your heart like the heart of God—

Speak and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God,
“Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
The great

monster that lies in the midst of his rivers,

That has said, ‘My Nile is mine, and I myself have made it.’

But they said, “Stand aside.” Furthermore, they said, “This one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them.” So they pressed hard against Lot and came near to break the door.

For though the Lord is exalted,
Yet He regards the lowly,
But the haughty He knows from afar.

Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
Assuredly, he will not be unpunished.

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,

But humility goes before honor.

Haughty eyes and a proud heart,
The lamp of the wicked, is sin.

The expression of their faces bears witness against them,

And they display their sin like Sodom;
They do not even conceal it.
Woe to them!
For they have brought evil on themselves.

We have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride;

Even of his arrogance, pride, and fury;

His idle boasts are false.

The king reflected and said, ‘Is this not Babylon the great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?’

but you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God in whose hand are your life-breath and all your ways, you have not glorified.

“The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
You who live in the clefts of the rock,
In the loftiness of your dwelling place,
Who say in your heart,
‘Who will bring me down to earth?’

You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Fulness

Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the

valley of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere—this was before the Lord

destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah—like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar.

And the Lord said, “The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave.

“But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked—
You are grown fat, thick, and sleek—

Then he forsook God who made him,

And scorned the Rock of his salvation.

Instead, there is gaiety and gladness,
Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,
Eating of meat and drinking of wine:
“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”

Do you put off the day of calamity,
And would you bring near the seat of violence?

And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive.

“Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day.

It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

“Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;

Neither

oppresses the poor and needy, commits robbery, does not restore a pledge, but lifts up his eyes to the idols and commits abomination,

He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor
Will also cry himself and not be answered.

The Lord

enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people,

“It is you who have devoured the vineyard;
The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

Therefore because you impose heavy rent on the poor
And exact a tribute of grain from them,
Though you have built houses of well-hewn stone,
Yet you will not live in them;
You have planted pleasant vineyards, yet you will not drink their wine.

Hear this, you who

trample the needy, to do away with the humble of the land,

“You who hate good and love evil,
Who tear off their skin from them
And their flesh from their bones,

And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,
