Is not

But when his heart was exalted and his spirit became arrogant, he was deposed from his royal throne and his glory was taken from him.

They mock, and they speak maliciously;
they arrogantly threaten oppression.

Pride comes before destruction,
and an arrogant spirit before a fall.

The Chaldeans pull them all up with a hook,
catch them in their dragnet,
and gather them in their fishing net;
that is why they are glad and rejoice.

Look, his ego is inflated;
he is without integrity.
But the righteous one will live by his faith.

Then I’ll say to myself, “You have many goods stored up for many years. Take it easy; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

In the same way, you younger men, be subject to the elders. And all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because

God resists the proud
but gives grace to the humble.

Great

His kingdom started with Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

As people migrated from the east, they found a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there.

The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; He gave her the cup filled with the wine of His fierce anger.

On her forehead a cryptic name was written:

BABYLON THE GREAT

THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES

AND OF THE VILE THINGS OF THE EARTH.

They will stand far off in fear of her torment, saying:

Woe, woe, the great city,
Babylon, the mighty city!
For in a single hour
your judgment has come.

Riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler of everything. Power and might are in Your hand, and it is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all.

The temple that I am building will be great, for our God is greater than any of the gods.

For he says,
“Aren’t all my commanders kings?

You have mocked the Lord through your servants.
You have said, “With my many chariots
I have gone up to the heights of the mountains,
to the far recesses of Lebanon.
I cut down its tallest cedars,
its choice cypress trees.
I came to its distant heights,
its densest forest.

“Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre: This is what the Lord God says:

Your heart is proud,
and you have said, ‘I am a god;
I sit in the seat of gods
in the heart of the sea.’
Yet you are a man and not a god,
though you have regarded your heart
as that of a god.

Speak to him and say: This is what the Lord God says:

Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
the great monster

lying in the middle of his Nile,

who says, ‘My Nile is my own;
I made it for myself.’

And for

Your Majesty, the Most High God gave sovereignty, greatness, glory, and majesty to your predecessor Nebuchadnezzar.

He displayed the glorious wealth of his kingdom and the magnificent splendor of his greatness for a total of 180 days.

A man with valuable possessions
but without understanding
is like the animals that perish.

My soul, praise Yahweh!
Lord my God, You are very great;
You are clothed with majesty and splendor.

I will speak of Your splendor and glorious majesty
and Your wonderful works.

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for God’s glory.

The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.
