The pride(A) of your heart has deceived you,
    you who live in the clefts of the rocks[a](B)
    and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
    ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’(C)
Though you soar like the eagle
    and make your nest(D) among the stars,
    from there I will bring you down,”(E)
declares the Lord.(F)

43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
