The pride

For You save an afflicted people,
But haughty eyes You abase.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy;
No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.

Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

And hands that shed innocent blood,

Haughty eyes and a proud heart,
The lamp of the wicked, is sin.

There is a kind—oh how lofty are his eyes!
And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.

The

proud look of man will be abased

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

The expression of their faces bears witness against them,

And they display their sin like Sodom;
They do not even conceal it.
Woe to them!
For they have brought evil on themselves.

To see if there are any who

And profane the name of my God.

Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a land of thick darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We are free to roam;
We will no longer come to You’?

Seek the Lord,

All you humble of the earth
Who have carried out His ordinances;

Seek righteousness, seek humility.

In the day of the Lord’s anger.

Thoughts

That you may be saved.

Lodge within you?
