You who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Whose habitation is high;
(B)You who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’

And though you (D)set your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,” says the Lord.

Proverbs 17:19
New King James Version
19 He who loves transgression loves strife,
And (A)he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.
Daniel 4:30-37
New King James Version
30 The king (A)spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?”
31 (B)While the word was still in the king’s mouth, (C)a voice fell from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you! 32 And (D)they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven [a]times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.”
33 That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.
Nebuchadnezzar Praises God
34 And (E)at the end of the [b]time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him (F)who lives forever:
For His dominion is (G)an everlasting dominion,
And His kingdom is from generation to generation.
35 (H)All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing;
(I)He does according to His will in the army of heaven
And among the inhabitants of the earth.
(J)No one can restrain His hand
Or say to Him, (K)“What have You done?”
36 At the same time my reason returned to me, (L)and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me. My counselors and nobles resorted to me, I was (M)restored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was (N)added to me. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, (O)praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, (P)all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. (Q)And those who walk in pride He is able to put down.
