Pride and arrogance and the evil way

And the perverted mouth, I hate.

His idle boasts are false.

“I have heard the

taunting of Moab

And the revilings of the sons of Ammon,
With which they have taunted My people
And

His loftiness

“Adorn yourself with eminence and dignity,
And clothe yourself with honor and majesty.

For though the Lord is exalted,
Yet He regards the lowly,
But the haughty He knows from afar.

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,

But humility goes before honor.

And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.

And the loftiness of man will be humbled,
And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

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