Ezekiel 28:2

A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.

Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.

Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.

But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”

Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.

When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.

The fear of Yahweh teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility.

Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”

You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?’ ”

When they cast down, you will say, ‘be lifted up.’ He will save the humble person.

For I say through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet

The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.

Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.

You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even you, and Judah with you?’ ”

Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,

Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Yahweh stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.

It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground, and trampled on them.

“The king will do according to his will. He will exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is determined will be done.

Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.

he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men.

For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.

“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.

There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.

Wail, for Yahweh’s day is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!

Then they said, “Come! Let’s devise plans against Jeremiah; for the law won’t perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let’s strike him with the tongue, and let’s not give heed to any of his words.”

has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live,” says the Lord Yahweh.

by your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”

“ ‘therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,

The king spoke and said, “Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?”

But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.

“I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows.

The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky.

He will plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.

This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is no one besides me.” How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.

I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many “gods” and many “lords”;

By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.

But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!

The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.”

He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t let them go.

Fire came out from Yahweh, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense.

Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you today;

“ ‘ “Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters. She also didn’t strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;

Yahweh said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel brag against me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’

But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly, and he trespassed against Yahweh his God; for he went into Yahweh’s temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.

But Hezekiah didn’t reciprocate appropriate to the benefit done for him, because his heart was lifted up. Therefore there was wrath on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem.

Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.

May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,

I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.

Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility.

For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low:

Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.

You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’ so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.

Yahweh’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘Yahweh says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.

You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.

Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.

By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.

Speak and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the middle of his rivers, that has said, ‘My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.’

“Therefore thus said the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because you are exalted in stature, and he has set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;

but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.

“The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand on two feet as a man. A man’s heart was given to it.

The multitude will be lifted up, and his heart will be exalted. He will cast down tens of thousands, but he won’t prevail.

Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.

Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.

From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice.

Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.

But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
