Thus says the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which is on the head of the rich valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

And you said, I shall be a lady forever: so that you did not lay these things to your heart, neither did remember the latter end of them.

So much as she has glorified herself, and lived luxuriously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Thy flowing valley

Turn, O backsliding children, says the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one from a city, and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil hearts, and went backward, and not forward.

For Israel slides back like a stubborn heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in an open pasture.

Trusted

For because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you shall also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.

They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

Trust not in oppression, and hope not vainly in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the ruin of the poor is their poverty.

With your wisdom and with your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries:

Charge them that are rich in this present age, that they be not haughty, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy;

Who

Your fierceness has deceived you, and the pride of your heart, O you that dwell in the clefts of the rock, that hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says the LORD.

Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, says the LORD; who say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

Though you exalt yourself as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, from there will I bring you down, says the LORD.
