Let the lying lips be put to silence; the lips which speak with arrogance, haughtiness and contempt against the just.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked cause me to wander.

Let them be taken in their pride for the sin of their mouth and the word of their lips, along with the cursing and the lying which they speak.

O that my ways were fixed to keep Your Statutes!

The proud have forged a lie against me, but I will keep Your Precepts with my whole heart.

The proud, who are not according to Your Law, have dug pits for me.

Be surety for Your servant for good; let not the arrogant ones oppress me.

The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have laid the bait for me. Selah

As yet you exalt yourself against My people in that you will not let them go.

Now I know that Jehovah is greater than all the gods; for in the very things in which they behaved proudly, He was above them.

And it shall come to pass, when the Lord has completed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, I will punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria and the glory of his haughty looks.

For he says, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am discerning. And I have removed the borders of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man.

For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of the Mighty God; I will also sit on the mount of the appointed assembly, in the recesses of the north.

Those who see you shall stare at you and consider diligently, saying, Is this the man who made the earth to tremble; who shook kingdoms;

that Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, You speak falsely! Jehovah our God has not sent you to say, Do not go to Egypt to live there.

His trouble shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own crown.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; their own foot is caught in the net which they hid.

Jehovah is known. He has executed judgment; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

His own iniquities shall capture the wicked, and he shall be held with the cords of his sin.
