Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord and He will exalt you people.
And whoever exalts himself [as important] will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted [as important].
He has dethroned rulers and has exalted humble people.
For every person who exalts himself [as important] will be humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be exalted [as important].”
I tell you, this man went back home right with God instead of the other man. For every person who exalts himself [as important] will be humbled, but whoever humbles himself will be exalted [as important].”
Therefore, be humble [in your actions] before God’s powerful authority, so that you may be exalted [by Him] at the proper time.
