TSK · 1 Peter 5:6

But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, not even under force.

But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God and said,“O LORD, why does your anger burn against your people, whom you have brought out from the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

I will get revenge and pay them back at the time their foot slips; for the day of their disaster is near, and the impending judgment is rushing upon them!”

‘You displayed a sensitive spirit and humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard how I intended to make this place and its residents into an appalling example of an accursed people. You tore your clothes and wept before me, and I have heard you,’ says the LORD.

So when Rehoboam humbled himself, the LORD relented from his anger and did not annihilate him; Judah experienced some good things.

But then Hezekiah and the residents of Jerusalem humbled themselves and abandoned their pride, and the LORD was not angry with them for the rest of Hezekiah’s reign.

The Annals of the Prophets include his prayer, give an account of how the LORD responded to it, record all his sins and unfaithful acts, and identify the sites where he built high places and erected Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself.

He did evil in the sight of the LORD his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, the LORD’s spokesman.

God says,“I will bring down all the power of the wicked; the godly will be victorious.”

They rejoice in your name all day long, and are vindicated by your justice.

Proud men will be brought low, arrogant men will be humiliated; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

For this is what the high and exalted one says, the one who rules forever, whose name is holy:“I dwell in an exalted and holy place, but also with the discouraged and humiliated, in order to cheer up the humiliated and to encourage the discouraged.

To this day your people have shown no contrition! They have not revered me nor followed the laws and statutes I commanded you and your ancestors.’

“And you, son of man, groan with an aching heart and bitterness; groan before their eyes.

He has told you, O man, what is good, and what the LORD really wants from you: He wants you to carry out justice, to love faithfulness, and to live obediently before your God.

He has brought down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position;

I tell you that this man went down to his home justified rather than the Pharisee. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we really stronger than he is?

But now in his own time he has made his message evident through the preaching I was entrusted with according to the command of God our Savior.

Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.
