Lexicon :: Strong's G5243 - hyperēphania

“But you should select from all the people able men, God-fearing, trustworthy, and hating dishonest profit. Place them over the people as commanders of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens.

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

“But the person who acts defiantly,[fn] whether native or resident alien, blasphemes the LORD. That person is to be cut off from his people.

“The person who acts arrogantly, refusing to listen either to the priest who stands there serving the LORD your God or to the judge, must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.

They are uncaring;[fn]

their mouths speak arrogantly.

Let lying lips

that arrogantly speak against the righteous

in proud contempt be silenced.

Love the LORD, all his faithful ones.

The LORD protects the loyal,

but fully repays the arrogant.

Do not let the foot of the arrogant come near me

or the hand of the wicked drive me away.

For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips,

let them be caught in their pride.

They utter curses and lies.

Therefore, pride is their necklace,

and violence covers them like a garment.

Make your way[fn] to the perpetual ruins,

to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary.

Do not forget the clamor of your adversaries,

the tumult of your opponents that goes up constantly.

No one who acts deceitfully

will live in my palace;

the one who tells lies

will not be retained here to guide me.[fn]

“To fear the LORD is to hate evil.

I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct,

and perverse speech.

We have heard of Moab’s pride —

how very proud he is —

his haughtiness, his pride, his arrogance,

and his empty boasting.

We have heard of Moab’s pride,

great pride, indeed —

his insolence, arrogance, pride,

and haughty heart.

He appointed his beautiful ornaments for majesty,

but[fn] they made their detestable images from them,

their abhorrent things.

Therefore, I have made these

into something filthy to them.

“Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters had pride, plenty of food, and comfortable security, but didn’t support[fn] the poor and needy.

“Didn’t you treat your sister Sodom as an object of scorn when you were proud,

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt, and glorify the King of the heavens, because all his works are true and his ways are just. He is able to humble those who walk in pride.

The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob:[fn]

I will never forget all their deeds.

Your arrogant heart has deceived you,

you who live in clefts of the rock[fn][fn]

in your home on the heights,

who say to yourself,

“Who can bring me down to the ground? ”
