Listen and give heed, do not be haughty,
For the Lord has spoken.

But Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and besides, I will not let Israel go.”

Still you exalt yourself against My people by not letting them go.

The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him.
All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
The tongue that speaks great things;

You rebuke the arrogant, the cursed,
Who wander from Your commandments.

Our soul is greatly filled
With the scoffing of those who are at ease,
And with the contempt of the proud.

Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

And hands that shed innocent blood,

“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;

Pride and arrogance and the evil way

And the perverted mouth, I hate.

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

That I not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the Lord?”
Or that I not be in want and steal,
And profane the name of my God.

“Behold, as for the proud one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the righteous will live by his faith.

And all the people know it,
That is, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
Asserting in pride and in arrogance of heart:

But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

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.

Thou speakest

They have lied about the Lord
And said, “

Not He;

Misfortune will not come on us,
And we will not see sword or famine.

He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar who had made him swear allegiance by God. But he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the Lord God of Israel.

and the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you will not believe, you surely shall not last.”’”
