Psalms 109:18

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

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.

And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

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

Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

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

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

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

He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,

Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

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

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

Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”

He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head. He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.

I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh! My soul will be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

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.”

We love him, because he first loved us.

and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.” The woman shall say, “Amen, Amen.”

Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.

An angry man stirs up strife, and a wrathful man abounds in sin.

I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an object of horror, an astonishment, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,

For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and my wrath has been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you, when you enter into Egypt; and you will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you will see this place no more.’

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.”

For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,

“Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,

nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks.

subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.

Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”

I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.

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.

He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.

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.

It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Don’t be afraid. Let your hands be strong.”

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.

because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the dawn from on high will visit us,

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.

him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,

Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.

Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.

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

‘Cursed is the man who makes an engraved or molten image, an abomination to Yahweh, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ All the people shall answer and say, ‘Amen.’

You will become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples where Yahweh will lead you away.

In that day, Yahweh of Armies will become a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the residue of his people,

“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.

You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen; and the Lord Yahweh will kill you. He will call his servants by another name,

I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I will drive them.

A curse will be taken up about them by all the captives of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, ‘Yahweh make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;’

I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they will all be consumed. They will fall in the land of Egypt. They will be consumed by the sword and by the famine. They will die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine. They will be an object of horror, an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

The strong among the mighty will speak to him out of the middle of Sheol with those who help him. They have gone down. The uncircumcised lie still, slain by the sword.

They will not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.

Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.

When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away; and the woman will be a curse among her people.

and you will have great sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’ ”

Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

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.

to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”

but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;

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.”
