Psalm 75:4-5

"To the arrogant I say, 'Boast no more,' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns*. Do not lift up your horns* against heaven; do not speak so defiantly.' "

To the arrogant I say 
Psalm 5:5-6  The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong; you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest.

'Boast no more' 
1 Samuel 2:3  "Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed."

'Do not lift up your horns*' 
Zechariah 1:20-21  Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen. I asked, "What are these coming to do?" He answered, "These are the horns* that scattered Judah so that no one could raise their head, but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns* of the nations who lifted up their horns* against the land of Judah to scatter its people."

'Do not lift up your horns* against heaven, do not speak so defiantly.' 
Job 15:24-26  "Distress and anguish fill him (the ruthless man) with terror; troubles overwhelm him, like a king poised to attack, because he shakes his fist at God and vaunts himself against the Almighty, defiantly charging against him with a thick, strong shield."

*horns symbolize strength
