Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because your heart is lifted up, and you say, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas, yet you are a man, and not the Mighty God, though you set your heart as the heart of God

Will you still think to say before him who slays you, I am God? But you are a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who slays you.

Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground, I have set you before kings, that they might observe you.

Speak, and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster who lies in the midst of his rivers, who has said, My River is my own; I have made it for myself.

And they said, Stand back! And they said, This one came in to sojourn, and he acts as a judge to condemn; now we will deal worse with you than with them. And they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door.

Though Jehovah is on high, yet He gives attention to the lowly; but the proud He recognizes from afar.

Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah; though hand join in hand, he shall not go unpunished.

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Prior to shattering, the heart of man is haughty; and before honor is humility.

A haughty look, a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked are sin.

The expression of their faces witnesses against them; they have declared their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have recompensed evil upon themselves.

We have heard of the pride of Moab; very proud; even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his rage; but it is all empty talk.

The king spoke and said, Is this not great Babylon that I have built for the house of the kingdom, by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?

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.

But you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of Heaven. And they have brought the vessels of His house before you. And you, and your nobles, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, and do not know. And you have not glorified the God in whose hand your life, breath, and all your ways is.

The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock; whose dwelling is high, saying in your heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

Likewise you that are younger, be subject to your elders. Yes, all of you be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the area around Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar.

And Jehovah said, The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and their sin is exceedingly heavy.

But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are gorged! And he forsook the God who had made him, and treated with contempt the Rock of his salvation.

But behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine, saying, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!

And it was revealed in my ears by Jehovah of Hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be atoned until you die, says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts.

You who put the evil day far away, and cause the seat of violence to come near,

who chant with the sound of the lute; they invent instruments of song for themselves like David;

Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.

So he said, I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger, and there I will gather all my fruits and my goods.

But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have prepared?

There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day.

Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with giddiness, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come upon you unexpectedly.

if he has oppressed the poor and needy, plundered by robbery, not restored the pledge, has lifted his eyes to the idols, or committed abomination;

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and their rulers. For you have eaten up the vineyard, the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

What do you mean that you crush My people, and grind the faces of the poor? says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts.

So, therefore because you trample on the poor, and you take tribute of grain from him; you have built houses of hewn stones, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink wine from them.

For I know your many transgressions, and your many sins: afflicting the just, taking bribes, and thrusting away the poor from justice in the gate.

Hear this, you who swallow up the needy, and make the poor of the land to fail,

in order to buy the poor with silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

You who hate good and love evil, who tear their skin off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

Then they shall cry out to Jehovah, but He will not answer them. He will even hide His face from them at that time, because they have done evil in their doings.

And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,

desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
