Upon

Jehovah of Hosts planned this in order to dishonor all arrogant people and to humiliate all the honored people of the world.

Jehovah hates these six things: Yes, seven are an abomination to him:

Every one proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah. Though they unite they will all be punished.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, extol and honor the King of heaven. All his works are truth, and his ways justice. He is able to abase (humble) (subdue) those who walk in pride.

But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened with pride he dealt proudly. He was deposed from his kingly throne and they took his glory from him:

He who exalts himself will be humbled. He who humbles himself will be exalted.

Those who exalt themselves will be humbled. And people who humble themselves will be exalted.

But he gives more grace. The scripture said, God resists the proud, but gives grace (loving-kindness) to the humble.
