Upon

LORD of hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to LORD. Hand in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are truth, and his ways justice. And he is able to abase those who walk in pride.

But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne. And they took his glory from him,

And he who will exalt himself will be made low, and he who will make himself low will be exalted.

Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.

But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, God is opposed to the arrogant, but gives grace to the lowly.
