Exodus 18:11

11Now I know that ^athe Lord is greater than all gods, because in this affair they ^bdealt arrogantly with the people.” ▼

▼Hebrew with them

Job 9:4

4He is ^dwise in heart and mighty in strength
—who has ^ehardened himself against him, and succeeded?—

Psalms 2:10-12

10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11 ^fServe the Lord with ^gfear,
and ^hrejoice with ⁱtrembling.
12 ^jKiss ^kthe Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his ^lwrath is quickly kindled.
^mBlessed are all who take refuge in him.

Psalms 52:1-5

The Steadfast Love of God Endures

To the choirmaster. A Maskil ▼

▼Probably a musical or liturgical term

of David, when ^oDoeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”

1 Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
The steadfast love of God endures all the day.
2Your ^ptongue plots destruction,
like ^qa sharp razor, you ^rworker of deceit.
3You love evil more than good,
and ^slying more than speaking what is right.  Selah
4You love all words that devour,
O deceitful tongue.
5 But God will break you down forever;
he will snatch and ^ttear you from your tent;
he will uproot you from ^uthe land of the living.  Selah

Psalms 73:3-12

3 ^vFor I was ^wenvious of the arrogant
when I saw the ^xprosperity of the wicked.
4 For they have no pangs until death;
their bodies are fat and sleek.
5They are not in trouble as others are;
they are not ^ystricken like the rest of mankind.
6Therefore pride is ^ztheir necklace;
violence covers them as ^aaa garment.
7Their ^abeyes swell out through fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
8They scoff and ^acspeak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.
9They set their mouths against the heavens,
and their tongue struts through the earth.
10Therefore his people turn back to them,
and find ^adno fault in them. ▼

▼Probable reading; Hebrew the waters of a full cup are drained by them

11And they say, ^af“How can God know?
Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12Behold, these are the wicked;
always at ease, they ^agincrease in riches.

Psalms 75:4-5

4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
and to the wicked, ^ah‘Do not lift up your horn;
5do not lift up your horn on high,
or speak with haughty neck.’”

Isaiah 10:7-16

7But he ^aidoes not so intend,
and his heart does not so think;
but it is in his heart to destroy,
and to cut off nations not a few;
8for he says:
^aj“Are not my commanders all kings?
9 ^akIs not ^alCalno like ^amCarchemish?
Is not ^anHamath like ^aoArpad?
^apIs not ^aqSamaria like Damascus?
10As my hand has reached to ^arthe kingdoms of the idols,
whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11shall I not do to Jerusalem and ^asher idols
^atas I have done to Samaria and her images?”
12 ^auWhen the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, ^avhe ▼

▼Hebrew I

will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes. 13 ^axFor he says:

“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I remove the boundaries of peoples,
and plunder their treasures;
like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.
14My hand has found like a nest
the wealth of the peoples;
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
so I have gathered all the earth;
and there was none that moved a wing
or opened the mouth or chirped.”
15 Shall ^aythe axe boast over him who hews with it,
or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?
As if a rod should wield him who lifts it,
or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!
16Therefore the Lord God of hosts
will send wasting sickness among his ^azstout warriors,
and under his glory ^baa burning will be kindled,
like the burning of fire.
