“and I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and to bring them from that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey ​— ​the territory of the Canaanites, Hethites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

living things both large and small.

I will walk freely in an open place

but your command is without limit.

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

A greedy person stirs up conflict,

but whoever trusts in the LORD will prosper.

This is what the Lord GOD says:

“You will drink your sister’s cup,

which is deep and wide.

You will be an object of[fn] ridicule and scorn,

for it holds so much.
