"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
