A word was given to me secretly, and the low sound of it came to my ears.

Lifting up those who are low, and putting the sad in a safe place;

If a man was desiring to go to law with him, he would not be able to give him an answer to one out of a thousand questions.

If it is a question of strength, he says, Here I am! and if it is a question of a cause at law, he says, Who will give me a fixed day?

His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.

If you come back to the Ruler of all, making yourself low before him; if you put evil far away from your tents;

For God makes low those whose hearts are lifted up, but he is a saviour to the poor in spirit.

For a short time they are lifted up; then they are gone; they are made low, they are pulled off like fruit, and like the heads of grain they are cut off.

When he made a law for the rain, and a way for the thunder-flames;

Truly God has made me low, even to the earth, and I have become like dust.

If I did wrong in the cause of my man-servant, or my woman-servant, when they went to law with me;

Let your wrath be overflowing; let your eyes see all the sons of pride, and make them low.
