For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.

The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.

Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.

And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;

Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.

Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

In the same day shall the Lord shave with a rasor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.

And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,

And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;

He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.

For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
