'Abased' in the Bible

that the kingdom might be abased, that it might not lift itself up, that it might keep his covenant in order to stand.

for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.

I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation.
