Job 8:22

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

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.

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;

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

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

For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.

He will die for lack of instruction. In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray.

“Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,

Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives;’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives;’ they will fall, and never rise up again.”

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.

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

But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.

For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame.

Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”

Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid for you, when I brandish my sword before them. They will tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.”

“Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet don’t let Judah offend; and don’t come to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth Aven, nor swear, ‘As Yahweh lives.’

subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.

He will return no more to his house, neither will his place know him any more.

So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,

if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.

If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach,

May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.

The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.

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

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

Then all the princes of the sea will come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the ground, and will tremble every moment, and be astonished at you.

They will walk after Yahweh, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.

The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

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.

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

Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.

When the people heard this evil news, they mourned; and no one put on his jewelry.

Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.’

The eye of him who sees me will see me no more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.

yet he will perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

The eye which saw him will see him no more, neither will his place see him any more.

For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’

The young men saw me and hid themselves. The aged rose up and stood.

But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.

Her gates shall lament and mourn. She shall be desolate and sit on the ground.

“Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you will no longer be called tender and delicate.

They will spread them before the sun, the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, which they have served, after which they have walked, which they have sought, and which they have worshiped. They will not be gathered or be buried. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth.

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive; and the feasting and lounging will end.

As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,

Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”

If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’

For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.

if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father;’ to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’

He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.

Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”

For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.

They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.

He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.

He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.

He sees everything that is high. He is king over all the sons of pride.”

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

As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Take words with you, and return to Yahweh. Tell him, “Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good: so we offer our lips like bulls.

but don’t seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and don’t pass to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.

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.”

You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
