for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;

he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate;

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
