A generation, whose eyes are lofty, and their eyelids lifted up on high.
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
The lofty eyes of man are humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be made to stoop: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
A gradual canticle. O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness.
I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.
Behold, he that is unbelieving, his soul shall not be right in himself: but the just shall live in his faith.
Wilt thou yet say before them that slay thee: I am God; whereas thou art a man, and not God, in the hand of them that slay thee?
And the Lord said: Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with stretched out-necks and wanton glances of their eyes, and made a noise as they walked with their feet, and moved in a set pace:
Haughtiness of the eyes is the enlarging of the heart: the lamp of the wicked is sin.
And man shall be brought down, and man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be brought low.
