9 Thus says Yahweh, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like brass;
In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings, in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be haughty in my holy mountain.
Hear you, and give ear; don't be proud; for Yahweh has spoken. Give glory to Yahweh your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for [your] pride; and my eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because Yahweh's flock is taken captive.
Yahweh of hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
Enter into the rock, And hide in the dust, From before the terror of Yahweh, And from the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man will be brought low, The haughtiness of men will be bowed down, And Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day. For there will be a day of Yahweh of Hosts for all that is proud and haughty, And for all that is lifted up; And it shall be brought low: For all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, For all the oaks of Bashan, For all the high mountains, For all the hills that are lifted up, For every lofty tower, For every fortified wall, For all the ships of Tarshish, And for all pleasant imagery. The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; And Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
"Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty. Pour forth the fury of your anger. Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low. Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
Our pursuers are on our necks: We are weary, and have no rest. We have given the hand to the Egyptians, To the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. Our fathers sinned, and are no more; We have borne their iniquities. Servants rule over us: There is none to deliver us out of their hand.
We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
When the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, House of Israel, can't I do with you as this potter? says Yahweh. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, house of Israel.
We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; even of his arrogance, and his pride, and his wrath; his boastings are nothing.
