Who is like the Lord our God? He sits on his throne in heaven.He bends down to look at the heavens and the earth.

The God who is highly honored lives forever. His name is holy. He says,“ I live in a high and holy place. But I also live with anyone who turns away from their sins. I live with anyone who is not proud. I give new life to them. I give it to anyone who turns away from their sins.

But God continues to give us more grace. That’s why Scripture says,“ God opposes those who are proud. But he gives grace to those who are humble.”( Proverbs 3:34)

The Lord makes people poor. He also makes people rich. He brings people down. He also lifts people up.He raises poor people up from the trash pile. He lifts needy people out of the ashes. He lets them sit with princes. He gives them places of honor.“ The foundations of the earth belong to the Lord. On them he has set the world.

He makes fun of proud people who make fun of others. But he gives grace to those who are humble and treated badly.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, give praise and honor and glory to the King of heaven. Everything he does is right. All his ways are fair. He is able to bring down those who live proudly.

Didn’t I make everything by my power? That is how all things were created,” announces the Lord.“ The people I value are not proud. They are sorry for the wrong things they have done. They have great respect for what I say.

“ Son of man, speak to Ethbaal. He is the ruler of Tyre. Tell him,‘ The Lord and King says,“‘ “In your proud heart you say,‘ I am a god. I sit on the throne of a god in the Mediterranean Sea.’ But you are only a human being. You are not a god. In spite of that, you think you are as wise as a god.Are you wiser than Daniel? Isn’t even one secret hidden from you?You are wise and understanding. So you have become very wealthy. You have piled up gold and silver among your treasures.You have used your great skill in trading to increase your wealth. You are very rich. So your heart has become proud.” ’ ”The Lord and King says,“ You think you are wise. In fact, you claim to be as wise as a god.So I am going to bring outsiders against you. They will not show you any pity at all. They will use their swords against your beauty and wisdom. They will strike down your shining glory.They will bring you down to the grave. You will die a horrible death in the middle of the sea.Then will you say,‘ I am a god’? Will you say that to those who kill you? You will be only a human being to those who kill you. You will not be a god to them.

All those who lift themselves up will be made humble. And those who make themselves humble will be lifted up.”

“ I tell you, the tax collector went home accepted by God. But not the Pharisee. All those who lift themselves up will be made humble. And those who make themselves humble will be lifted up.”

Then they shouted,“ This is the voice of a god. It’s not the voice of a man.”Right away an angel of the Lord struck Herod down. Herod had not given praise to God. So he was eaten by worms and died.

He has done mighty things with his powerful arm. He has scattered those who are proud in their deepest thoughts.He has brought down rulers from their thrones.

Anyone who brags will be brought low. Anyone who is proud will be made humble. The Lord alone will be honored at that time.

Let loose your great anger. Look at those who are proud and bring them low.Look at proud people and make them humble. Crush evil people right where they are.

But his heart became very stubborn and proud. So he was removed from his royal throne. His glory was stripped away from him.He was driven away from people. He was given the mind of an animal. He lived with the wild donkeys. He ate grass just as an ox does. His body became wet with the dew of heaven. He stayed that way until he recognized that the Most High God rules over all kingdoms on earth. He puts anyone he wants to in charge of them.“ But you knew all that, Belshazzar. After all, you are Nebuchadnezzar’s son. In spite of that, you are still proud.You have taken your stand against the Lord of heaven. You had your servants bring cups from his temple to you. You and your nobles drank wine from them. So did your wives and concubines. You praised your gods. The statues of those gods are made out of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood or stone. They can’t see or hear or understand anything. But you didn’t honor God. He holds in his hand your very life and everything you do.So he sent the hand that wrote on the wall.

He has taken note of me even though I am not considered important. From now on all people will call me blessed.

Anyone who brags will be brought low. Anyone who is proud will be made humble. The Lord alone will be honored at that time.

You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know what I’m thinking even though you are far away.

In the same way, I’m speaking to you who are younger. Follow the lead of those who are older. All of you, put on a spirit free of pride toward one another. Put it on as if it were your clothes. Do this because Scripture says,“ God opposes those who are proud. But he gives grace to those who are humble.”( Proverbs 3:34)So make yourselves humble. Put yourselves under God’s mighty hand. Then he will honor you at the right time.

Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods. See what he did to those who looked down on Israel.”
