『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，

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，

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: Since it towered high in stature and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,

‘ 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;

但他心高氣傲，剛愎自用，就從他的國位上黜落下來，他的尊榮就被褫奪。

你因你的美麗而心裏高傲；又為了你的光華而敗壞你的才智。我將你摔倒於地，使你暴露身體於君王面前，讓他們目覩為快。

希西家卻沒有照他所受的恩待來報答永恆主，因為他心高氣傲；故此永恆主震怒了他，也震怒猶大和耶路撒冷。

將來主在錫安山和耶路撒冷了結了他一切作為的時候，他必察罰亞述王心裏自大之表現和他眼目高傲之自炫。

你這住巖石的密洞中、建居所於高處的啊，你心裏說：「誰能將我拉下地呢？」你心中的傲慢氣把你欺騙了。

你心裏曾說：「我必升到天上；我必高設我的寶座在高高之眾星以上；我必坐在諸神的聚會山上，在北方之極處；我必升到雲霄丘上；跟至高者同等。」然而你竟被送下陰間，到陰坑中的極深處了！

人先心驕傲，然後遭破毁；要得尊榮、先要謙卑。

都為的是要使水旁的眾樹、樹身都不高聳，不將其樹梢挺立入於雲霄間，只要使凡所有得水滋潤的樹都不屹立於高聳中；因為他們都被交於死亡，交於地府之最低處、在人類中間、到那些下冥坑的人那裏。

凡自高的必被降卑；凡自己謙卑的必被升高。

你心裏說：「嘿，你看！我擊敗了以東人了」，你就心高氣傲，自以為榮；現在你只好在家裏呆着吧；又為甚麼要惹禍，使你覆亡，使你和猶大國跟你一同覆亡呢？』

不，他還賜更大的恩呢；故此經上說：『上帝敵擋狂傲的人，賜恩給謙卑的人』。

因為他認識虛妄的人；他特別留意，看人的奸惡。故此空空洞洞的人有心思，野驢駒子也生成為人！

王應時說：『這豈不是大巴比倫，我用我財力的權勢所建築、做王家宮殿，要顯示我威嚴之光榮的麼？』

先狂傲、然後遭破毁；先有高傲之氣、然後就跌倒。
