And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
