Approach the Lord humbly, and he will lift you up.
People who lift themselves up will be humbled, but people who humble themselves will be lifted up.
So humble yourselves under God’s mighty hand, and then he will honor you at the right time.
All who lift themselves up will be humbled, but those who humble themselves will be lifted up.”
He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but he has lifted up people who weren’t considered important.
“I tell you, the tax collector went home accepted by God, but the Pharisee didn’t. All those who lift themselves up will be humbled, but those who humble themselves will be lifted up.”
