SCRIPTURE

"Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: glory thereof, and abide at home; for why shouldest thou meddle to [thy] hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?" — 2 Kings 14:10 (ASV)

Glory of this ... - This literally means, “Be honored;” that is, “Enjoy your honor... be content with it.” “Why will you meddle with misfortune?”
