Adorn yourself with majesty and grandeur, and clothe yourself with glory and honor.

Look upon everyone who is proud, and humble him; tread down the wicked in their place.

Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness;

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and honor the King of Heaven, for all His works are truth, and His ways are justice. And He is able to humble those who walk in pride.

He performs mightily with His arm; He scatters the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

He puts down the mighty from their thrones, and exalts the lowly.

Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God; enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Then the angel of Jehovah went out and struck a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Assyria. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunk so that they may rejoice and sleep a never-ending sleep, and not wake up, says Jehovah.

Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; your nobles are lying down. Your people are scattered on the mountains, and no one gathers them.

Then Assyria shall fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. For he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become forced labor.

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and see, it has not been bound up for healing, nor a bandage set to bind it, to make it strong to hold a sword.

I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and disperse them throughout the earth.

Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down. And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he shall have stretched it out against the land of Egypt.
