I said to the arrogant and boastful, Deal not arrogantly [do not boast]; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn [of personal aggrandizement].

Lift not up your [aggressive] horn on high, speak not with a stiff neck and insolent arrogance.

But God is the Judge! He puts down one and lifts up another.

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.
It is God who judges:(E)
    He brings one down, he exalts another.(F)
