“I discipline the arrogant by telling them, ‘No more bragging.’
    I discipline the wicked by saying, ‘Do not raise your horn to demonstrate your power.[a]
Do not thrust your horn into the air, issuing a challenge,
    and never speak with insolence when you address Me.’”

There is no one on earth who can raise up another to grant honor,
    not from the east or the west, not from the desert.
There is no one. God is the only One.

  1. 75:4 The horn was a symbol of power, and a raised horn indicated a challenge.

To the arrogant(A) I say, ‘Boast no more,’(B)
    and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.[a](C)
Do not lift your horns against heaven;
    do not speak so defiantly.(D)’”

No one from the east or the west
    or from the desert can exalt themselves.
