⁸ So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

¹¹ Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.

²⁸ And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

⁹ Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

¹⁶ Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.
