15 For his heart has withdrawn from the One who made him. For arrogance is the beginning of all sin. Whoever holds to it, will be filled with evil words, and it will overthrow him in the end.
16 Because of this, the Lord has dishonored the gatherings of the evil, and he has destroyed them, even unto the end.
17 God has destroyed the seats of arrogant leaders, and he has caused the meek to be seated in their place.
18 The roots of arrogant nations, God has dried up, and the humble among these nations, he has planted.
19 The Lord has overthrown the lands of the Gentiles, and he has utterly destroyed them, even to their foundation.
20 He has dried up some of them, and he has utterly destroyed them, and he has caused their memory to depart from the earth.
21 God has abolished the memory of the arrogant, and he has left behind only the memory of those who are humble in mind.
