knows Me, that I am the Lord, Who exercises kindness, justice and
righteousness on Earth, for in these I delight," declares the Lord.
(Jeremiah 9, 23-24)
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)
He boasts of the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and re-
viles the Lord. In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his
thoughts there is no room for God (Psalm, 10: 3-4)
Many Passages from the Gospel state that those who ex-
pect exaltation in their conceit are, in reality, debased. For ex-
ample:

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who
humbles himself will be exalted. (Luke, 18: 14)
so that no one may boast before him…Therefore, as it is written:
"Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.(1 Corinthians 1, 29-31)
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humil-
ity consider others better than yourselves. (Philippians, 2: 3)
