Lexicon :: Strong's H1364 - gāḇōha

“Do not go on boasting so very proudly,

Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth;

For the LORD is a God of knowledge,

And by Him actions are weighed (examined).

“He looks on everything that is high [without terror];

He is monarch over all the sons of pride. [And now, Job, [fn]who are you who does not dare to disturb the beast, yet who dares resist Me, the beast’s creator? Everything under the heavens is Mine; therefore, who can have a claim against God?]”

The high mountains are for the wild goats;

The rocks are a refuge for the [fn]shephanim.

Though the LORD is exalted,

He regards the lowly [and invites them into His fellowship];

But the proud and haughty He knows from a distance.

If you see the oppression of the poor and the denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the sight [of corruption]; for a higher official watches over another official, and there are higher ones over them [looking out for one another].

Against every high tower,

Against every fortified wall,

So the common man will be bowed down and the man of importance degraded,

And the eyes of the proud (arrogant) will be degraded.

Listen carefully, the Lord, the GOD of hosts, will lop off the [beautiful] boughs with terrifying force;

The tall in stature will be cut down

And the lofty will be abased and humiliated.

O Zion, herald of good news,

Get up on a high mountain.

O Jerusalem, herald of good news,

Lift up your voice with strength,

Lift it up, do not fear;

Say to the cities of Judah,

“Here is your God!”

“Upon a high and lofty mountain

You have [openly and shamelessly] made your [idolatrous and adulterous] bed;

Even there you went up to offer sacrifice [to idols, in spiritual unfaithfulness to Me].

“For long ago you broke your yoke [in deliberate disobedience]

And tore off your bonds [of the law that I gave you];

You said, ‘I will not serve and obey You!’

For on every high hill

And under every green tree

You have lain down [in idolatrous worship] like a [compliant] prostitute.

Moreover, the LORD said to me in the days of Josiah the king [of Judah], “Have you seen what that faithless Israel has done—how she went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and there she was a prostitute?

As they remember their children,

So they remember [in detail] their [pagan] altars and their [fn]Asherim

Beside green trees on the high hills.

Thus says the LORD of hosts,

“The [fn]broad wall of Babylon will be completely overthrown and the foundations razed

And her high gates will be set on fire;

The peoples will labor in vain,

And the nations become exhausted [only] for fire [that will destroy their work].”

[fn]Thus says the Lord GOD, “I Myself will take a twig from the lofty top of the cedar and will set it out; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain.

A day of trumpet and the battle cry [of invaders]

Against the fortified cities

And against the high corner towers (battlements).
