³ Do not YOU people speak very haughtily so much,

Let nothing go forth unrestrained from YOUR mouth,+

For a God* of knowledge Jehovah is,+

And by him* deeds are rightly estimated.+

 ⁵ Anyone slandering his companion in secrecy,+

Him I silence.+

Anyone of haughty eyes and of arrogant heart,*+

Him I cannot endure.+

² Has presumptuousness come? Then dishonor will come;+ but wisdom is with the modest ones.+

⁵ In like manner, YOU younger men, be in subjection+ to the older men. But all of YOU gird yourselves with lowliness of mind toward one another,+ because God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones.+
