Lexicon :: Strong's G5196 - hybris

“I will break down your strong pride. I will make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,

He rushes headlong at him

with his thick, studded shields.

Isn’t God as high as the heavens?

And look at the highest stars ​— ​how lofty they are!

There they cry out, but he does not answer,

because of the pride of evil people.

Then there comes a roaring sound;

God thunders with his majestic voice.

He does not restrain the lightning

when his rumbling voice is heard.

“How long, inexperienced ones, will you love ignorance?

How long will you mockers enjoy mocking

and you fools hate knowledge?

“To fear the LORD is to hate evil.

I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct,

and perverse speech.

When arrogance comes, disgrace follows,

but with humility comes wisdom.

Arrogance leads to nothing but strife,

but wisdom is gained by those who take advice.

The proud speech of a fool brings a rod of discipline,[fn]

but the lips of the wise protect them.

The heart knows its own bitterness,

and no outsider shares in its joy.

Pride comes before destruction,

and an arrogant spirit before a fall.

Luxury is not appropriate for a fool ​— ​

how much less for a slave to rule over princes!

Discipline your son while there is hope;

don’t set your heart on being the cause of his death.[fn]

The lamp that guides the wicked —

haughty eyes and an arrogant heart ​— ​is sin.

A person’s pride will humble him,

but a humble spirit will gain honor.

All the people —

Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria ​— ​will know it.

They will say with pride and arrogance,

Look, the Lord GOD of Armies

will chop off the branches with terrifying power,

and the tall trees will be cut down,

the high trees felled.

I will punish the world for its evil,

and wicked people for their iniquities.

I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant

and humiliate the insolence of tyrants.

We have heard of Moab’s pride —

how very proud he is —

his haughtiness, his pride, his arrogance,

and his empty boasting.

Is this your jubilant city,

whose origin was in ancient times,

whose feet have taken her

to reside far away?

The LORD of Armies planned it,

to desecrate all its glorious beauty,

to disgrace all the honored ones of the earth.

He will spread out his arms in the middle of it,

as a swimmer spreads out his arms to swim.

His pride will be brought low,

along with the trickery of his hands.

Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards,

and to the fading flower of its beautiful splendor,

which is on the summit above the rich valley.

Woe to those overcome with wine.

The majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards

will be trampled underfoot.

“This is what the LORD says: Just like this I will ruin the great pride of both Judah and Jerusalem.

But if you will not listen,

my innermost being will weep in secret

because of your pride.

My eyes will overflow with tears,

for the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.

We have heard of Moab’s pride,

great pride, indeed —

his insolence, arrogance, pride,

and haughty heart.

The arrogant will stumble and fall

with no one to pick him up.

I will set fire to his cities,

and it will consume everything around him.

Here is the day! Here it comes!

Doom is on its way.

The rod has blossomed;

arrogance has bloomed.

This is what the LORD says:

Those who support Egypt will fall,

and its proud strength will collapse.

From Migdol to Syene

they will fall within it by the sword.

This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.

“The day will be dark[fn] in Tehaphnehes,

when I break the yoke of Egypt there

and its proud strength

comes to an end in the city.

A cloud will cover Tehaphnehes,[fn]

and its surrounding villages will go into captivity.

“I will make your hordes fall

by the swords of warriors,

all of them ruthless men from the nations.

They will ravage Egypt’s pride,

and all its hordes will be destroyed.

“I will make the land a desolate waste, and its proud strength will come to an end. The mountains of Israel will become desolate, with no one passing through.

Israel’s arrogance testifies against them.[fn]

Both Israel and Ephraim stumble

because of their iniquity;

even Judah will stumble with them.

Israel’s arrogance testifies against them,[fn]

yet they do not return to the LORD their God,

and for all this, they do not seek him.

The Lord GOD has sworn by himself ​— ​this is the declaration of the LORD, the God of Armies:

I loathe Jacob’s pride

and hate his citadels,

so I will hand over the city and everything in it.

“Are there still[fn] the treasures of wickedness

and the accursed short measure

in the house of the wicked?

For the LORD will restore the majesty of Jacob,

yes,[fn] the majesty of Israel,

though ravagers have ravaged them

and ruined their vine branches.

This is what they get for their pride,

because they have taunted and acted arrogantly

against the people of the LORD of Armies.

On that day you[fn] will not be put to shame

because of everything you have done

in rebelling against me.

For then I will remove

from among you your jubilant, arrogant people,

and you will never again be haughty

on my holy mountain.

A mongrel people will live in Ashdod,

and I will destroy the pride of the Philistines.

The LORD[fn] will pass through the sea of distress

and strike the waves of the sea;

all the depths of the Nile will dry up.

The pride of Assyria will be brought down,

and the scepter of Egypt will come to an end.
