TSK · James 4:6

And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

Now I know that the LORD [is] greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly [he was] above them.

Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, [both] he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

His prayer also, and [how God] was intreated of him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they [are] written among the sayings of the seers.

Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard [thee] also, saith the LORD.

Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

¶ Though the LORD [be] high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:

¶ Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour [is] humility.

¶ A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

¶ We have heard of the pride of Moab; [he is] very proud: [even] of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: [but] his lies [shall] not [be] so.

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

‹And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.›

‹For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.›

¶ Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
