himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be ex-
alted. (Matthew 23:11-12)

Torah
To the arrogant I say: "Boast no more," and to the wicked: "Do not
lift up your horns. Do not lift your horns against Heaven; do not
speak with outstretched neck." No one from the east or the west or
from the desert can exalt a man. But it is God Who judges: He
brings one down, He exalts another. (Psalm 75:4-7)

SHUNNING WORTHLESS TALK

When they [believers] hear worthless talk, they turn away
from it and say: "We have our actions and you have your
actions. Peace be upon you. We do not desire the company
of the ignorant." (Surat al-Qasas, 55)

[Believers are] those who do not bear false witness and
who, when they pass by worthless talk, pass by with dig-
nity. (Surat al-Furqan, 72)

Gospel
The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart, a
good conscience, and a sincere faith. Some have wandered away
from these and turned to meaningless talk. (1 Timothy 1:5-6)

But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quar-
rels about the Law, because these are unprofitable and useless.
(Titus 3:9)
Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become
more and more ungodly. (2 Timothy 2:16)
