SCRIPTURE

"Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day. For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low;" — Isaiah 2:10-12 (ASV)

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

Whatever God does or does not do, there is one rule of his procedure from which he never deviates: namely, to cast down the proud and those who boast, from their high places. He condescends to the humble, and he has a tender eye for the contrite, but wherever man, the creature, dares to think himself great, God will bare his arm to overthrow him, or puff at him—for a puff will do it—and he will pass away.
