Isaiah 5:15

Woes On The Wicked

So the common man will be bowed down and the man of importance degraded,
And the eyes of the proud (arrogant) will be degraded.
¹⁶
But the Lord of hosts will be exalted in justice,
And God, the Holy One, will show Himself holy in righteousness [through His righteous judgments].
