Ezekiel 31:10

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

For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.

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.”

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.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,

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

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

They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

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

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

Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life.

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.

Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn’t show them.

Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

“Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

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.

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

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.

However concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.

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

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.

What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?

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

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

Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

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!

“Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp against her all around. Let none of it escape. Pay her back according to her work. According to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against Yahweh, against the Holy One of Israel.

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,

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.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.

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.

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.

Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

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

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

He also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.

You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.

A man’s steps are from Yahweh; how then can man understand his way?

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:

and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.

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 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?’ ”

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

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

Therefore it will happen that when the Lord has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the willful proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the insolence of his arrogant looks.

“Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God—

to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, and don’t set their top among the thick boughs. Their mighty ones don’t stand up on their height, even all who drink water; for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, among the children of men, with those who go down to the pit.’

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 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 pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’

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

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