15 And now we call kthe arrogant blessed. kEvildoers not only prosper but lthey put God to the test and they escape.’”
15 For thus says nthe One who is high and lifted up,
who inhabits eternity, whose name is oHoly:
p“I dwell in the high and holy place,
and also qwith him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
rto revive the spirit of the lowly,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
19 nIt is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor
than to odivide the spoil with the proud.
3 r“Blessed are sthe poor in spirit, for utheirs is the kingdom of heaven.
16 There are dsix things that the Lord hates,
dseven that are an abomination to him:
17 ehaughty eyes, fa lying tongue,
and ghands that shed innocent blood,
5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is ran abomination to the Lord;
sbe assured, he will not go unpunished.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
2 dGrace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
