Job 22:29

⁶But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

¹⁹He will deliver you in six troubles; yes, in seven no evil will touch you. ²⁰In famine he will redeem you from death; in war, from the power of the sword. ²¹You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, neither will you be afraid of destruction when it comes. ²²You will laugh at destruction and famine, neither will you be afraid of the animals of the earth. ²³For you will be allied with the stones of the field. The animals of the field will be at peace with you. ²⁴You will know that your tent is in peace. You will visit your fold, and will miss nothing. ²⁵You will know also that your offspring^[+] will be great, your offspring as the grass of the earth. ²⁶You will come to your grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season. ²⁷Behold, we have researched it. It is so. Hear it, and know it for your good.”

⁵Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

⁵²He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.

¹²Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

¹⁴“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name. ¹⁵He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him. ¹⁶I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”

²³A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

⁹He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others: ¹⁰“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. ¹¹The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. ¹²I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’ ¹³But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ ¹⁴I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

⁹For behold, your enemies, LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered. ¹⁰But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil. ¹¹My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

²For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says the LORD: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
