The Lord has a special day planned. On that day, the Lord will punish the proud and boastful people. Then those proud people will be made not important.
Arm (power) of the Lord, wake up!\par Wake up! Be strong!\par Use your strength\par like you did a long time ago,\par like you have from ancient times.\par You are the power that defeated Rahab.\par You defeated the Dragon. {\cf2\super [418]} \par
The Lord says:\par “The Lord makes the sun shine in the day.\par And the Lord makes the moon and the stars shine at night.\par The Lord stirs up the sea so that its waves\par crash on the shore.\par The Lord All-Powerful is his name.”\par
Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, give praise, honor, and glory to the King of Heaven. Everything he does is right. He is always fair. And he is able to make proud people humble!
But the grace (kindness) that God gives is greater. Like the Scripture says, “God is against proud people, but he gives grace (kindness) to people who are humble.” {\cf2\super [22]}
