“‘ Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Since it towered high in stature and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,

所以主耶和华如此说：“因它高大，树尖插入云中，心骄气傲，

所以主耶和华如此说：“因它高大，树顶高耸入云，心高气傲，

所以主耶和华如此说：“因它高大，树顶高耸入云，心高气傲，

“因此，主耶和华说，‘因为它树干高大，树梢高耸入云，心高气傲，

“‘因此，主耶和华这样说：因为它树身高大，树顶在茂密的枝叶之上，又因它高大而心骄气傲，

所以主耶和華如此說：「因它高大，樹尖插入雲中，心驕氣傲，

所以主耶和華如此說：「因它高大，樹頂高聳入雲，心高氣傲，

所以主耶和華如此說：「因它高大，樹頂高聳入雲，心高氣傲，

「因此，主耶和華說，『因為它樹幹高大，樹梢高聳入雲，心高氣傲，

“‘因此，主耶和華這樣說：因為它樹身高大，樹頂在茂密的枝葉之上，又因它高大而心驕氣傲，

『故此永恆主這麼說：其樹身既高聳，其樹梢既挺立於雲霄間，其心既以其高大而驕傲，

主耶和華曰、因其崇高、其杪入雲、心志驕泰、

耶和華曰、彼譬喬木、其葉蓁蓁、心志驕泰、

主天主如是云、譬彼樹木、其株崇高、其巔茂密、因而心高志傲、

“‘ Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because the great cedar towered over the thick foliage, and because it was proud of its height,

So the Lord and King says,“ The great cedar tree grew very high. Its top was above all the leaves. It was proud of how tall it was.

“ Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because it towered high and set its top among the clouds, and its heart was proud of its height,

“ Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because Egypt became proud and arrogant, and because it set itself so high above the others, with its top reaching to the clouds,

‘ Therefore this is what the Lord God says:“ Because it is tall in stature and has put its top among the clouds, and its heart is haughty in its loftiness,

“ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD:‘ Because you have increased in height, and it set its top among the thick boughs, and its heart was lifted up in its height,

Therefore thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;

“ Therefore this is what the Lord God says: Since it became great in height and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;

“‘ Therefore this is what the sovereign LORD says: Because it was tall in stature, and its top reached into the clouds, and it was proud of its height,

“ Therefore thus said the Lord Yahweh:‘ Because you are exalted in stature, and he has set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;

But when his heart was exalted and his spirit became arrogant, he was deposed from his royal throne and his glory was taken from him.

Your heart became proud because of your beauty; For the sake of your splendor you corrupted your wisdom. So I threw you down to the ground; I made you a spectacle before kings.

However, because his heart was proud, Hezekiah didn’t respond according to the benefit that had come to him. So there was wrath on him, Judah, and Jerusalem.

But when the Lord finishes all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say,“ I will punish the king of Assyria for his arrogant acts and the proud look in his eyes.”

Your arrogant heart has deceived you, you who live in clefts of the rock in your home on the heights, who say to yourself,“ Who can bring me down to the ground?”

You said to yourself,“ I will ascend to the heavens; I will set up my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of the gods’ assembly, in the remotest parts of the North.I will ascend above the highest clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”But you will be brought down to Sheol into the deepest regions of the Pit.

Before his downfall a person’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.

This happened so that no trees planted beside water would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds, and so that no other well-watered trees would reach them in height. For they have all been consigned to death, to the underworld, among the people who descend to the Pit.

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

You have said,‘ Look, I have defeated Edom,’ and you have become overconfident that you will get glory. Now stay at home. Why stir up such trouble so that you fall and Judah with you?”

But he gives greater grace. Therefore he says: God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

Surely he knows which people are worthless. If he sees iniquity, will he not take note of it?But a stupid person will gain understanding as soon as a wild donkey is born a human!

the king exclaimed,“ Is this not Babylon the Great that I have built to be a royal residence by my vast power and for my majestic glory?”

Pride comes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.
