“We have heard of the pride of Mo’aḇ
We have heard of the pride of Mo’aḇ
Though יהוה is exalted, He looks on the humble; But the proud He perceives from a distance.
But He gives greater favour. Because of this He says, “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favour to the humble.”
“For everyone who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.”
Now I, Neḇ
There is a generation; Oh, how haughty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.
Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before esteem is humility.
“The fear of יהוה is to hate evil. I have hated pride and arrogance, And the evil way, And the perverse mouth.
Proud, haughty, “Scoffer” is his name; He acts with arrogant pride.
“And I shall punish the world for its evil, and the wrong for their crookedness, and shall put an end to the arrogance of the proud, and lay low the pride of the ruthless.
