4. What scriptures show that Jehovah is humble?

⁴ Jehovah God​—the Most High, the Universal Sovereign, the King of eternity—​is humble. (Genesis 14:22) Could that possibly be so? Yes, indeed! King David said, as recorded at Psalm 18:35: “You will give me your shield of salvation, and your own right hand will sustain me, and your own humility will make me great.” Clearly, King David credited Jehovah’s humility with making him, David, great. Then again, we read at Psalm 113:6 that Jehovah “is condescending to look on heaven and earth.” Other translations read, “stoops down to look,” (New International Version) “deigns to look down so low.”​—The New English Bible.

 5. What incidents testify to Jehovah’s humility?

⁵ Jehovah God certainly condescended in the way he dealt with Abraham, allowing Abraham to question His righteousness in purposing to destroy the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.a (Genesis 18:23-32) And when Jehovah expressed his inclination to wipe out the nation of Israel​—one time for idolatry, another time for rebellion—​Moses on each occasion reasoned with Jehovah as if he were talking to another human. Each time Jehovah responded favorably. It showed humility for Him to grant Moses’ pleas regarding His people Israel. (Exodus 32:9-14; Numbers 14:11-20) Other examples of Jehovah’s humbly dealing with humans on a person-to-person basis, as it were, are to be seen in his relations with Gideon and Jonah, as recorded at Judges 6:36-40 and Jonah 4:9-11.
