TSK · Zechariah 12:7

If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and plead my disgrace against me,

I have prayed for deliverance, because otherwise they will gloat over me; when my foot slips they will arrogantly taunt me.

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

The LORD says,“Wise people should not boast that they are wise. Powerful people should not boast that they are powerful. Rich people should not boast that they are rich.

The Restoration of the Davidic Dynasty“In that day I will rebuild the collapsing hut of David. I will seal its gaps, repair its ruins, and restore it to what it was like in days gone by.

So it was annulled that very day, and then the most afflicted of the flock who kept faith with me knew that it was the LORD’s message.

He has demonstrated power with his arm; he has scattered those whose pride wells up from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.

Then the Pharisees answered,“You haven’t been deceived too, have you?

Think about the circumstances of your call, brothers and sisters. Not many were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were born to a privileged position.

Listen, my dear brothers and sisters! Did not God choose the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?
