3. When the earth totters, and all the inhabitants of it, it is I Who will poise and keep steady its pillars. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
4. 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].
5. Lift not up your [aggressive] horn on high, speak not with a stiff neck and insolent arrogance.
6. For not from the east nor from the west nor from the south come promotion and lifting up. [Isa. 14:13.]
7. But God is the Judge! He puts down one and lifts up another.
