¹⁵ For I will make you least among the nations,
    despised by humankind.

⁵¹ He has shown strength with his arm;
    he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.^(A)

¹⁰ Then my enemies^[a] will see,
    and shame will cover those^[b] who said to me,
    “Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see their^[c] downfall;^[d]
    now they^[e] will be trodden down
    like the mire of the streets.^(A)

² I will surely make you least among the nations;
    you shall be utterly despised.

⁷ The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
    he brings low; he also exalts.^(A)
8 He raises up the poor from the dust;
    he lifts the needy from the ash heap
to make them sit with princes
    and inherit a seat of honor.
For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
    and on them he has set the world.^(B)
