298 SCRIPTURES on the theme of Pride

Proverbs 16:18 Pride precedes destruction, 😇. An arrogant spirit triggers a fall.
note: A priceless storytelling technique: the character acts arrogantly, then they trip and fall. Works every time.
Proverbs 21:24 😇, whoever acts in proud fire-rage [should be] named: “Frothing Volcano Mouth.”
note: These stunning concrete Hebrew words often get sadly translated into the abstract: “Arrogant haughty scorner.”
1st Kings 20:11 So [northern] Israel's king [Ahab] retorts, “Tell [Ben-Hadad], ‘A [warrior] putting on [his] armor [to fight] shouldn't brag as if he's taking it off [after winning the battle].’”
Job 41:34 [Satan] looks [down] on every arrogant [being]. He's a king over all the children of pride, 😇.”
note: If you're proud, the devil is your king. The only escape from his claws is through the narrow hole of humility, crawling down on your face in the mud. pride = strutting
IsaiYAH 45:9 Woe [comes] to anyone who fights his Maker! [A human being is] a broken shard of a clay pot [lying in a] wreckage of [other] shards of clay pots on the earth, 😇. Can clay say to the [potter] who fashions it, “What are you making?” Can a [piece of] artwork [claim that its painter] has no hands?”
Daniel 4:30 I open [my] royal mouth to brag, “Is this not the great Babylon, the [Empire] I've built as my royal residence, by the force of my power, to magnify the glory of my majesty?
note: This section may have been written as a testimony by third parties. See the German Orient Society's excavation records to be amazed at how great Babylon was.
Daniel 4:31 As the word[s] “my majesty” slither out of [my royal] mouth, a voice [booms] down from heaven. [It shouts,] “Emperor Nebuchadnezzar, [hear] your verdict: The Empire is [hereby stripped] from you!
Daniel 4:32 —[Angels] soon drive you from men. You fall to dwell with the field-animals. [Angels] make you eat grass like an ox. 7 times [years] pass over you, until you know that [YHVH] Ha-Elyon {The-Most-High} rules in the kingdom of men, and gives [earth's authority] to whoever He chooses.”
Daniel 5:20 But when [Nebuchadnezzar's] heart puffed up, and his mind hardened in pride, [YAH struck him down] from his Imperial throne. [YAH's angels] stripped [Nebuchadnezzar's] glory from him.
Luke 11:43 Woe to you, [pompous preacher] Pharisees! For you love the most important seats in [educational and cultural gatherings. You compete for deferential] greetings in [public] markets.
note: Preachers sell out Christ for tickets to the opera, symphony, sports arena, and notices in the media and in the financial district: ‘Hello, Reverend, Pastor, Rabbi, so-and so.’
1st Kings 1:6 [King David, AdoniJah's] Dad, never in his whole life disciplined AdoniJah. [David] never even asked him, “Why are you being [such a brat]?” And [AdoniJah got arrogant because he was gorgeous, just like his big brother] AbShalom. (Maacah birthed [AbShalom] right before Chagiyith birthed [AdoniJAH].)
2nd Kings 7:17 Meanwhile, the [looting] mobs trample the king's power-wielding General, the pillar [of the nation], who sassed-off [to Elishua] when the king came down to [consult EliShua]. So [the big General] dies, [just] as the man of Elohim predicted, 😇.
Proverbs 30:32 If you've acted foolishly by lifting yourself up, 😇, or if you've thought evil, lay your hand upon your mouth [in repentance].
IsaiYAH 10:14 —My hand finds [a] country's riches like a [hunter finds a bird's] nest. I gather the whole earth like a [boy] gathers [neglected] eggs. [My enemy kings] don't [dare] rustle their wings, nor open their beaks [to shout in protest]. They're [too scared to make] a peep!”
IsaiYAH 14:13 You bragged in your [evil] heart, ‘I'm ascending past the skies. I'm exalting my throne above the stars of [YHVH] El. I'll sit [enthroned] on the utmost heights of [heaven's] sacred mountain, [leading the angelic] assembly.
IsaiYAH 23:9 YHVH-Commander-Of-Armies plans [the nations' destruction], 😇. [He] stains the pride of all [mundane] splendor. He brings all the world's celebrities into contempt.
JeremiYAH 45:5 Are you seeking great things for yourself, 😇? Don't do it! Watch: I'm bringing disaster on all flesh,’ warns YHVH. “I'll give your life to you. You'll take [your breath like] plundered [treasure] everywhere you go.”
Ezekiel 28:9 Are you gonna’ keep on bragging, “I'm Elohim” in the face of your killer? [No.] In the power-fist of your killer, you [die] a powerless [mortal] man.
Daniel 11:37 [The parade of evil world-sovereigns terminates in an unprecedented Tyrant-Power. This anti-Christian demagogue] fails to understand [or appreciate] the elohim of his fathers. [As a trans-sexual pedophile, he rejects] the desire of women. [He disrespects] every elohim {Authority}. [He fails to understand the warnings given by the messengers of YHVH the Eloah {Supreme-being}.] [The Anti-Christ power] magnifies himself above all.
note: This is summarizing the events of Daniels "70th week." Now you understand why the evil world is pushing so hard to normalize pedophilia and transgenderism.
Matthew 26:35 Peter {Rock} lies to YahShua, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you.” All YahShua's disciples blurt out the same [prideful lying boast, 😇].
note: That's what friends are for. Abandoning you when you go up against the big guns for YAH. Get ready for the same betrayal to befall to you if you ever risk anything major to obey YAH's commands. True discipleship is a lonely road. A tightrope-walk without a net.
Mark 9:34 But none of the disciples [have the guts to] answer [YahShua,] because they've been arguing about which of them is the greatest, 😇.
Luke 7:30 The Pharisees & legal-experts reject the opportunity [YHVH] the Eloah gives them, 😇. They [arrogantly] refuse to get baptized by JAHn.
note: The religionists consider John inferior to themselves.
Luke 9:46 YahShua's [babyish, foolish] disciples start arguing about which of them will be [crowned The] Greatest [disciple].
note: Competing to be most famous, given the highest honors.
Luke 18:11 The religionite [Pharisee] stands, praying inside himself, ‘[YHVH] the Eloah, I thank you that I'm not like other men: greedy, unfair, adulterous, or [heaven forbid, a traitor] like this tax-man.
Romans 2:1 So you have no excuse for judging other [people], 😇. For in whatever [sense] you criticize someone else, you condemn yourself, since you (who judge) commit comparable [sins].
note: When you put other people on trial, you point your accusatory finger back at yourself.
1st Corinthians 8:1 Now, 😇, about [taxes and donations and sacrifices] offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up. But charity builds up.
note: See great song teaching 1Co 8:1-3. Literally: agape builds up. Agape = love-feasting.
Exodus 10:3 So Moses and Aaron [walk] into Pharaoh's [ruling chamber. For the 4th time, they] say to him, “YHVH, Elohim of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so they can serve Me [instead of you].
note: YAH is the protector of the Hebrews, that is, the people who separate from the world-system. If you aren't willing to separate from the world system, then you can't expect YAH to protect you.
Deuteronomy 8:17 You say in your heart, 😇, ‘My power and the might of my hand got me this wealth.’
1st Samuel 17:42 The Philistine looks out. He sees David. [Goliath] laughs at [David], the cute red-faced boy.
1st Samuel 17:43 So the Philistine yells to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me [holding a beating] stick?” The Philistine curses David, [using the name of] his false-god.
note: "Dog" is the most insulting word you can call someone in Hebrew.
1st Samuel 17:44 The Philistine further mocks David, “Come to me, [boy]! I'll give your flesh to the sky-birds and the field-beasts.”
NehemiYAH 9:16 —But they, our ancestors, arrogantly [sinned]. They stiffened their necks. [They refused] to listen to your commandments.
Esther 5:11 Haman brags to his wife and ‘friends’, “[Look at] all my glorious riches! [No one has such handsome and successful] sons as me. The Emperor has promoted me [so many times] that now I'm above every other man [in the world]! I look down on all the princes and the Imperial officials!”
Job 20:7 Still [the wicked man] perishes forever. Like his own poop, [he degrades back into soil]. Everyone who ever saw him asks, ‘Where'd [Mr. BigShot] go?’
IsaiYAH 10:13 The [braggart] spouts, “I [conquer the world] by the power of my own fist! By my ingenious schemes I erase national boundaries. I rob [dynasties of] their treasure. I sit my giant [rear-end down on their cities]. I squash their citizens [under my weight].
IsaiYAH 14:14 —I tower above the heights of [storm] clouds. I rival Ha-Elyon {The-Most-High}.’
IsaiYAH 46:12 Listen to me, you bull-hearted [rebels, beings] furthest from righteousness:
JeremiYAH 46:8 Egypt brags, “I'm climbing to cover the globe! Like the Nile's rushing flood-waters, I rise to destroy [all] cities. I [consume] their populations!”
Ezekiel 28:5 By your great cunning, through your [world] trade, you continually multiply your riches. So, because of your wealth, your heart [and nose] stick up [to heaven].’
note: Economic power makes even a saint arrogant.
Ezekiel 28:17 Your heart puffed high because of your beauty. You corrupted your wisdom. [You grew overly impressed with] your splendor. [So] I cast you to the ground. I lay you before kings, so they can look [down] on you [and laugh as they cry].
Ezekiel 29:9 Soon the land of Egypt lies desolate, wasted. [Everyone around] comes to know that I am YHVH {The-Omnitemporal-Sovereign} who hears [Pharaoh] brag, ‘The [Nile] river is mine. I made it.’
Daniel 4:29 12 months [pass. I, the Emperor, get cocky, thinking the prophecy won't come true. I strut] into [my awesome] palace in the [Imperial Capitol City] of Babylon {Iraq}.
Daniel 5:2 Belshazzar [struggles to his feet, grabs another bottle, sucks down even more] tasty wine. [A demonic grin comes over his face…] He commands [his treasure-bearers,] “Bring [me] the golden and silver utensils my [grand]father Nebuchadnezzar robbed out of [YHVH's] temple in Jerusalem! I and my Imperial princes, my wives and my concubines must drink in [extravagant, sacrilegious] style!”
Daniel 7:11 I keep watching. Because of the arrogant words the [little] horn speaks, [YAH's angels] kill the [horny] animal. [They destroy] its body. They throw it into the blazing fire.
Amos 9:10 All sinners among my people die by the sword, [even though they boast], ‘Ruin will neither overtake nor forestall us.’
note: Billions of Christianites claim they'll live forever (because they said a sinner's prayer or counted their rosaries). They instead perish, like billions of Jews and Muslims who thought that by meeting some regulations of the Sinai Code they could merit eternal resurrection.
ObadiYAH 1:3 Deceived by their arrogant hearts, lodged in their fortified refuge[s] in high rock cliffs, [the Red-Man's spawn] sit [in judgment, ambushing all invaders]. From their hearts they brag, “[We can] throw down [any invader into the dust] of earth. [No army can bring us down.]”
note: Esau, like Jacob, spawns a great nation. The descendants of Israel occupy the promised land. The ‘children of Esau’ occupy the south and east, in the rocky wilderness, where in 1812 archaeologists discovered a city, Petra, hewn out of solid cliffs of rose-colored rock: an impregnable fortress, so safe from attack that Egypt, Babylon and Assyria deposited money there. Just a handful of men could guard the narrow canyons which form Petra's approaches. Esau's descendants lived in false security. In their pride they felt they did not need YAH. They bowed YAH out of their civilization. When a mere man, a little creature down here, says, “I don’t need YAH,” YAH says, “That’s what I hate.” Modern militaries have the same false-pacifying effect on their nations. Military might and strategic advantage mean nothing.
ObadiYAH 1:4 The self-exalted soaring eagle fixes its nest among the stars. [But] YHVH's word smacks it down [to death's dust].
note: YAH's judgment is absolutely inescapable for Esau. YAH is forever set against Esau. One of the grandsons of Esau was a man named Amalek, who fought the Israelites on their way into Canaan. In Exodus 17:14-16 YAH says to Moses, ‘I come to utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.’ Moses predicts, ‘YHVH wars with Amalek from generation to generation.’ YAH never makes peace with sin-flesh.
Malachi 3:13 “You [priests] attack me with your obstinate, [rude, brazen, arrogant, harsh] words.” says YHVH. Yet, [in mock innocence,] you protest, ‘What have we spoken against [YHVH]?’
Matthew 23:30 You lie-brag, ‘If we'd lived in the days of our fore-fathers, we wouldn't have joined with our ancestors in [spilling] the blood of [Biblical] prophets.’
Mark 2:16 The [hypocritical religious] Law-experts & Pharisees spy YahShua eating with [hated] tax-bandits & evildoers. [So] the religionites challenge YahShua's disciples, “Why does your ‘Master’ eat and drink with [scummy] bribe-suckers & screw-ups?”
Mark 12:39 [😇, these hypocrites love having] the best seats in religious and educational institutions. They [fight over] places of honor at banquets.
Luke 7:39 The Pharisee (who invited YahShua) [looks down. He sees the whore kissing YahShua's feet, 😇]. The Pharisee says to himself, “This [fake Messiah] man, if he had been a prophet, would have known who is touching him and what kind of woman she is: she's a sinner!”
Luke 18:10 "😇, 2 men walk up into the temple to pray: one a [pompous paid preacher] Pharisee, the other a [despised, traitorous] tax-collector.
note: Pharisee means: ‘religious separatist’.
Luke 18:12 —I fast two [days] each week! I give 1/10th of everything I acquire [to the communal temple feast and charity fund].’
1st Timothy 3:6 An overseer can't be a newly-planted believer, 😇, because he may get puffed up [high and mighty] with pride, and fall into the condemnation of the devil.
note: -and thus fall under the same judgment as did the Adversary.
Genesis 31:43 Laban {Whitey} answers Jacob [with arrogant lies]: “These girls [who you call your wives] are my daughters. [They're my property.] And these kids [you fathered] are my children. And these cattle are my cattle.” [Whitey flails his arms wide], “Everything you see is mine! But [I'm too noble to kidnap] my daughters and the children they bore.
Judges 15:16 SunRay [parades in triumph on top of the hill, under the blood-red sky. He screams], “With the jawbone of a donkey, [I made] heaps upon heaps [of dead pagans]! With the jaw of a donkey, I killed 1000 men!”
2nd Samuel 14:25 [As time passes, the] whole [country of] Israel praises AbShalom {Father-of-Peace} more highly than anyone. [The masses adore AbShalom] more than any leader, [living or dead, not because of AbShalom's wisdom or spiritual virtues, but] because of his handsome-looks. [He parades through the cities. He dashes in and out of gorgeous girls' beds. The ladies look and see that] from the sole of his feet to the crown of his head there's not one blemish on [AbShalom]!
note: Every girl wants to bed him; every man wants to be him.
1st Kings 20:10 [Furious, Emperor] Ben-Hadad {Son-Of-Ferocity} sends [messengers] back [into the city] to [Ahab with this] message: “[I pray] the gods [pulverize me into oblivion,] and worse, if I and my [mighty armies] leave more than a handful of dust in Samaria.”
2nd Chronicles 32:25 Yet [king] HezekiYah {Strength-From-Yah} [again] vaunts his heart high [in pride], 😇! He fails to return gratitude befitting the [miracle] benefit YAH gives him. So YAH's fire-rage descends upon Hezekiah and upon [similarly arrogant] Judea and Jerusalem.
Esther 6:8 —Have [the royal tailors bring] the royal apparel [which you], Emperor, [yourself] wear. Then [have the royal horse-trainers] bring the [war] horse on which [you,] Emperor, [customarily] ride. And [command the Queen to bring] the royal crown [she normally] sets on [your] Imperial head.
Esther 6:9 —[Command your royal servants] to deliver this [royal] apparel and [the priceless] stallion to the hand of one of [your] most noble [Imperial] princes. [Have them] array the man whom [you] the Emperor delight to honor. [Have them] parade him on horseback through the [Capitol] city streets. [Let your lords] proclaim before him, ‘This is how [our nation] treats [the] man whom the Emperor delights to honor!’”
Psalms 12:3 YHVH cuts off all flattering lips, 😇. [He eventually lacerates] every tongue that [continues] speaking proud [boasts].
Proverbs 8:13 Awe of YHVH [makes you] hate evil, 😇. I, [wisdom,] hate haughtiness, arrogance, all evil paths, and [all] perverse mouth[s].
Proverbs 26:12 You see a man who sees himself as wise, 😇? There's more hope for a peabrain than for him.
Proverbs 27:1 Never brag about tomorrow, 😇. You don't even know what today might bring.
Proverbs 29:1 [YAH] will suddenly irreparably destroy [you, 😇,] if [you] ‘stiffen [your] neck’ despite repeated correction.
Proverbs 29:23 A man's pride eventually drags him down, 😇. Honor upholds humble-spirited [saints].
IsaiYAH 5:15 [YAH] slams the meat-man down [to the ground]. [YAH] abases the mighty [giant]. [YAH] lowers the lofty eyes of the [lovers-of-self].
IsaiYAH 9:13 No matter who smashes [Israel, they almost] never repent, 😇. They [habitually] refuse to seek YHVH-Commander-Of-All-Armies.
IsaiYAH 10:8 [The tyrant] brags, “My princes [outweigh other nations'] kings!
Ezekiel 16:50 [Sodomites] were haughty. They threw their disgusting acts in my face. So I whisked them away [from life], as you see. [Their land is a 4-foot thick patch of molten glass.]
Daniel 5:22 And you, [Nebuchadnezzar's grand]son Belshazzar, have [failed to] humble your heart, though you knew all [about Nebuchadnezzar's 7 years of humbling].
Hosea 7:10 Arrogant Israel screams in [YHVH's] face, 😇. [Foreign threats and internal oppression grow every day. Yet] the people who [think they] will rule with [YHVH their Elohim] refuse to return to Him, or even be curious about Him.
note: Or, ‘Israel's arrogance afflicts them and brings them low.’
Hosea 13:6 Like [goats] in a pasture, [you] get fed. Then the minute [you] get [your base needs & desires] satisfied, [your] hearts balloon up [with pride]. That's why [you, 😇,] forget Me.
Amos 6:13 [The doomed populace] takes pleasure in worthless things. [Fools] brag that their power comes from their own strength.
note: Worthless entertainment, materialism, empty consumption destroys you.
Matthew 18:1 About that time, YahShua's disciples ask him, “Who is the greatest [being] in the Dominion of Heaven?”
Matthew 19:20 The [arrogant] young man answers YahShua, “I've kept all those commandments from my youth until now. What else do I need to do [to live forever]?’
Mark 10:37 James & JAHn answer YahShua, “Grant to us that we come to sit [enthroned,] one on your right hand, and the other on your left hand, in your glorious [eternal Kingdom].”
note: The fashion boys are clueless, but they've got b@lls.
Luke 22:24 Then the apostles [stoop to] arguing [again] about which of them [YAH will] count as the greatest [apostle].
Luke 22:33 Peter {Rock} brags to YahShua, contradicting him, “Adoni, I'm ready to go with you, both to prison, and to death.”
Romans 14:10 😇, why do you pass judgment on your brother? Why do you despise your brother? We'll all stand before the the Messiah's judgment seat.
Galatians 6:3 😇, if anyone thinks he's something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
1 Maccabees 1:9 After Alexander's death [all of Alexander's “buddies”] crown themselves kings, as do their sons after them for many years. So evils multiply throughout the earth. [125 bitter years pass…]
2nd Samuel 14:26 At the end of every year, [as spring approaches, AbShalom] cuts his hair [to keep] its weight [from giving him headaches]. Then he weighs the cut hair. It weighs 200 royal shekels [~5 pounds]!
2nd Kings 14:9 So [north] Israel's [brutal] king JAhoash {JAH-Fired} sends [a threatening parable] to Judea's king AmaziYah {YAH's-Alertness}. [The parable warns:] “[You,] a thistle on white [mountain] send [a message] to [me,] the cedar on white [mountain]. [The thistle] demands, ‘Give your daughter to my son as [his] wife.’ But then a wild [mountain] beast [signifying my army] runs up. It stomps [you,] the thistle [to bits]!
note: White mountain = Lebanon.
2nd Kings 18:35 —Among all the gods of all countries, who has [ever] rescued their country out of my fist? So [how can] YHVH snatch Jerusalem out of my hand?’”
2nd Kings 19:22 —[Do you realize] who you've insulted and blasphemed, against whom you've exalted your voice, and lifted up your haughty eyes? You've [railed] against the Holy Sovereign of Israel!
2nd Kings 19:24 —[You brag,] ‘I destroy [wells]. I suck out foreign water [supplies]. With the sole[s] of my feet I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.’
2nd Kings 19:28 —Your roaring against me and your insolence ascend into my ears. So I'm sticking my hook in your nose! [I'm fastening] my bridle in your lips. I'm turning you back [from Jerusalem]. [I'm] reversing your invasion path.’
Esther 6:6 So Haman struts in. The Emperor asks Haman, “What [should I] do for the man whom [I] the Emperor delight to honor?” Haman thinks in his heart, “Who would the Emperor delight to honor more than me?”
Job 33:32 If you've got an excuse [for your sins], bring it on. I'd love to absolve you [of your guilt].
Job 40:13 Hide [all the world's egotists] in the dust. Tangle their faceless [corpses] in a mass grave.
Psalms 17:10 [My foes live] in the prison of their own riches. Their mouths blurt arrogant [boasts].
Psalms 33:17 A horse gives you vain hope of salvation, 😇. If you escape [death,] it's not because of your overwhelming [military] strength.
Psalms 144:5 Part your heavens, YHVH. Rush down. Touch the [proud] mountains, and they'll smoke.
Psalms 144:6 Hurl out lightning. Scatter [all arrogant highbrows]. Shoot out your arrows. [Throw humanity's pigs into] confusion.
IsaiYAH 9:10 [The rebels sneer,] “Yes, [invaders] toppled all our [shoddy clay] bricks. But we'll rebuild [our homes, barns and businesses] with [debt-funded, expensive] granite blocks. [Armies] chopped down all our [cheap] sycamore [trees]. But we'll reforest [our country] with [elite] cedars [bought on credit from our beloved allies]!”
note: Borrowing and pride go hand in hand. Until the loan comes due. Then shame and panic replace pride. Obama pronounced these thoughts in the Senate, and inscribed them on a beam at "Ground Zero" (the 9/11 tower-collapse site.) The same prideful boasting appears in the Globalist slogan "Build Back Better", which is code for 666 (bbb).
IsaiYAH 37:23 —Who do you keep insulting and blaspheming? Against whom do you exalt your voice, and lift up your haughty eyes? [You] fight the Sacred Sovereign of Israel!’
IsaiYAH 47:8 Now listen, pampered [egoist]! You live carelessly. You brag in your heart, ‘I self-exist. No one compares to me. I won't sit as a widow. I'll never know [how it feels to be] bereaved [of my children].’
JeremiYAH 13:9 YHVH says, “I'm ruining the pride of Judea, [including] the great arrogance of Jerusalem, just like [I rotted your belt].

JeremiYAH 46:12 The nations hear of [Egypt's] shame. [Her] cries fill the earth. Warrior trips over hero. They fall to [bleed to death in] each other's [failing arms].”
JeremiYAH 48:29 [Heaven] hears Moab's arrogance, his outrageous bragging, his pomp, the [sickening] pride [that vomits from] his high-and-mighty heart.
JeremiYAH 48:30 “I see [Moab's] fire-rage,” says YHVH. “But time proves [the braggart] wrong. His lies achieve nothing.
JeremiYAH 49:16 Your tremor-inducing idol-god lures you [to your death]. The pride of your heart [sucks you in,] you [snob who] dwells in rock-cliff clefts. [Today] you hold the height of the hill. [Yet even] if you make your nest as high as the eagle, I still bring you down [to death],” warns YHVH.
note: Rock-cliffs probably = Sela.
Ezekiel 35:13 Your [loud] mouth[s] brag against me. You multiply your bluster against me. I hear everything [you say].”
Amos 6:8 Adonai YHVH swears in his soul: YHVH Elohim-over-armies decrees: “I abhor the pomp of Jacob's [descendants]. I hate [military-industrial] citadels [and armories]. So I soon surrender [your] city and everything in it [to your enemies].
ZephaniYAH 2:15 The rollicking city lived carelessly. She bragged [in her evil] heart, “I'm the ultimate.” She collapses into a wasteland for beasts to lie down in. Passersby hiss, 😇, wagging their [accusing] hands [in disgust].
Matthew 20:22 YahShua answers [this presumptuous] Mom [and her brats], “You don't realize what you're asking. Are you able to “drink from the cup” [of death] that I'll “drink” from? [Can you survive] drowning in the “baptism” [of torture] in which I'll soon be immersed?” [In a ridiculous delusion of self-grandeur, James & JAHn foolishly] answer [YahShua], “We can do it!”
Matthew 26:33 Peter {Rock} answers YahShua, “Though all men lose faith in you, I will never fall away from you.”
Luke 14:7 YahShua notices how the [invited] guests choose the best seats at the table for themselves, 😇. So YahShua makes the [religionists the butt of the following juicy eye-popping] allegory:
Romans 11:20 [Yes, YAH] breaks off some [Jews] because they [refuse] to trust [Him]. But you [Christians] stand only as long as you trust [YAH enough to obey him]. So never get proud, 😇. Rather, stand in terror [of YAH's punishment].
1st Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is no good, 😇. Don't you know that a little ‘yeast’ works through the whole batch of dough?
2nd Samuel 22:28 You [eventually] save all humble [afflicted] people. But your eyes spy down on the arrogant [evil-ones]. [You wait for the right moment] to humiliate them.
2nd Kings 19:11 —Look out. You've heard what the kings of Assyria have done to every land. [We] utterly destroy [every country we fight]. So [you're a fool if you think YHVH] will rescue you.
2nd Kings 19:23 —Through [your] messengers you insult [Me,] the Adonai. You brag, ‘With my [thousands] of chariots I ascend to the height of the mountains, to the far-reaches of [the] Lebanon [forests]. I cut down the [white mountain's] tall cedar trees. [I grab] the best firs [for myself]. I invade its remotest corners. I [grab the treasures of] its fruiting garden[s].
2nd Chronicles 25:19 You brag, ‘Look: I struck the Edomite [southlanders].’ Your heart lifts you up into blustering [mania]. Stay home now. Why should you grind yourself to [a bloody pulp]? [Do you really want] to fall?—and [take] Judea [down] with you?”
Esther 1:11 The Emperor [barks to his officials]: "Bring Queen Vashti before [me]! [Make her] wear her royal crown!” Xerxes [shouts to] his vassal-kings [who stand before] the [drunken] crowd, “[Wait 'til] you see [my Queen. She's the most] beautiful woman [in the world]!
note: Vashti might have appeared for the nobles. But she didn't want the poor common people to even look at her.
Esther 5:12 Haman brags on, “And get this — yes — today Queen Esther allowed no man but me to come in with the Emperor to a private banquet she'd prepared. Then she invited me to another private royal meeting, just me, her, and [the] Emperor!” [Haman's friends and wife applaud. They toast their wine glasses. They cheer for Haman.]
Job 32:2 [Job] keeps justifying himself, rather than [praising] Elohim. [Job's pride] enflames the fire-rage of [college-boy] EliHu {His-El} the son of BarachEl {El-Blesses} (the descendant of Buz {Shamed}), of Ram's clan. [ELihu's juvenile] anger fires hot against Job.
Job 32:22 I don't know how to give people trumped-up titles. If I did, my maker would whisk me away [to where Job's going].”
note: The elders bristle with rage at this punk's arrogance.
Job 33:9 [You, Job, whine,] ‘I'm clean! I'm sinless! Innocent! There's no evil in moí!’
Job 33:23 But then, if [you're lucky,] along comes [me, god's] messenger, [heaven's] interpreter, one [prodigy] among a thousand [fools], to remind [sinful] man of [YAH's] righteousness.
Job 33:33 But you have [no excuse]. So listen to me. Stay silent, you [lawbreaker]. I'll mentor you. Learn the secrets [of sacredness].”
Job 35:16 [Job opens his mouth to object, but no words come out. Elihu continues,] “Look. Job opens his mouth. But only an empty puff [of stink] comes out. [What a fitting end to his] avalanche of clueless rants.”
Psalms 12:4 Braggarts [hiss], ‘Our [snake-]tongues will win! Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us? [No one!]’
Psalms 73:9 The [bigshots] set their mouth[s] against the heavens, 😇. Their [snake] tongue[s] wag [VD-infested spit] over the earth.
Psalms 94:4 How long will [you let] the [evil-ones] gush out impudent blab? [When will you stop] all the ruin-wreakers from bragging [about] themselves?
Psalms 101:5 I'll cut off [my connection to] anyone who slanders his neighbor behind [his back], 😇. I won't tolerate anyone with prideful eyes or an arrogant heart.
Psalms 107:12 So [YAH uses] toil to bend-the-knees of [stubborn] hearted [people]. They fall down. No one comes to help [them, 😇].
Proverbs 16:2 In his own eyes, all a man's ways [look] clean, 😇. But YHVH [objectively] weighs [our] spirits.
Proverbs 21:4 High looks, proud hearts, and wicked plowing: all sin, 😇.
note: "Plowing" flexibly refers to destructive, erosion-prone agricultural and living methods.
Proverbs 30:13 [This] haughty-eyed generation [disdainfully] raise their eyelids [to mock their elders], 😇.
IsaiYAH 2:11 [YHVH comes] to smack down man's lofty looks, 😇. [YAH] bows down [all] high-and-mighty mortal [necks]. The day [fast] approaches when YHVH alone towers [over humanity, every face licking the ground at His ‘feet’].
IsaiYAH 2:12 The [day approaches] when YHVH Commander-of-angel-armies [tramples] on all [earth's] arrogant, haughty [oppressors], 😇. [YAH eventually beats] down every [pompous,] nose-in-the-air [prig].
IsaiYAH 2:14 [YAH crushes] even the tallest ‘mountains’ [of human power], 😇. [He topples humanity's] high hills [with a flick of his eyelid].
IsaiYAH 5:21 Tragedy [tramples] the [dupes] who eye themselves as wise, who look in the [mirror] and see smart faces [staring back].
IsaiYAH 40:4 [YAH] builds up every [humble] valley. He smashes down every [proud] hill and mountain, 😇. [YAH] straightens everything that's crooked. He makes [our] rough [patches] smooth.
IsaiYAH 47:7 You boast, ‘I'll be [earth's first] lady forever.’ You never lay [scriptural warnings] to your heart. You ignore your ultimate outcome.
JeremiYAH 49:4 Why do you boast in your valleys? Your river-canyons [are about to] flow [with your blood, you] backsliding slut-nation! [You] trust in [your] treasures. [You] brag, ‘Who can advance on me?!’
Ezekiel 28:2 [YAH] says, “‘Son of Adam,’ tell the prince of Tyre {Rock-Port}, ‘Adonai YHVH says, ‘Your heart puffs high [with pride]. You say, ‘I'm a god! I sit in the seat of Elohim, in the heart of the seas.' So [I'll prove] you're [just a mortal] man, not a god, though you imagine your heart is the heart of Elohim.
Ezekiel 28:7 [Because of your self-worship,] I come to rain strangers upon you. Terrible [killers] from [many] nations [rush to] draw their swords against the beauty of your ‘wisdom.’ They defile your splendor.
Ezekiel 28:8 [My assassins] bring you down to the pit. You [come to] die the death of men slain in the ocean's heart.
Mark 14:31 But Peter {Rock} [yells] back even more strongly, “[Even] if I must die with you, I will never deny you in any way!” All of YahShua's disciples brag similar [lies].
note: You don't know how bad you wanna' keep breathing.
Romans 9:20 But who, 😇, are you, [little] human, to talk back to [YHVH] the Eloah?! “Can a formed object ask Him who formed it, ‘Why'd you make me this way?’”
note: Isaiah 29:16; 45:9
Romans 11:19 Then you'll [brag], 😇, “[YAH] broke off [Jewish] branches to engraft me, [a Christian, 'cause I'm better than a Jew]!”
Galatians 2:6 At our conference, those [church] guys who seemed to be ‘somebodies’ had nothing to add to what I said. (Whatever those ‘Bigshots’ were makes no difference to me, 😇, because Elohim accepts no man's persona.)
2nd Peter 2:12 In contrast, [disobedient, arrogant men are] natural brute [reasonless] beasts. [Infidels are] born to be captured and destroyed. [They] speak evil of [realities] they don't understand, 😇. [Mortals] quickly, utterly perish in their own corruption.
Jude 1:10 So [disobedient ‘believers’] speak evil of things they know nothing about, 😇. Like brute beasts, they corrupt themselves through what they understand by natural instinct.
note: We believers refrain from butting into business of the beast-nations. Yahshua himself never said one word against the obviously evil Caesars. Also, many people sin by denigrating Moses and other Old Testament dignitaries. Such complainers fail to understand Moses' words.
Exodus 18:11 Now I know that YHVH is greater than all elohim. For he turned the [pagans'] mighty arrogance on their own heads!”
note: Translation complicated.
Judges 20:39 Israel's [warriors] retreat from the battle. Instantly [the brutes of] Benjamin {Right-Hand-Son} strike! They kill about 30 Israelite men. The [Benjamites] brag, “Surely the [Israelites] lie beaten down before us, like in the first battle.”
2nd Kings 18:20 —You brag, ‘I have strategy and strength [to win] this war.’ (But these are mere vain boasts.) [Answer me] now! On whom are you trusting so [much] that you rebel against me?
2nd Kings 19:10 [Sennacherib warns,] “Tell Judea's king HezekiYah {Strength-From-YAH}, ‘Don't let your Elohim in whom you trust deceive you when he says, “Jerusalem won't be batted into the fist of the king of Assyria.
2nd Chronicles 30:8 —Stop being stiff-necked, like your [stubborn] fathers. Yield yourselves to YHVH. Enter his sanctuary which he made forever holy. Serve YHVH your Elohim, so [he] can turn his fierce fire-rage away from you.
Job 6:25 Honest maxims carry force! But what does your self-justification fix?
Job 12:2 “No doubt you [are the wisest of all] people. Wisdom will die with you.
note: Sarcasm. "I'm sure you speak for all the experts. When you die there'll be no one left to tell us peons how to live."
Job 13:23 Have I really committed that many perverse crimes? Show me the [list] of my rebellions and offenses!
note: We are never fully aware of just how deeply we've damaged ourselves and others by refusing to follow YAH's laws.
Job 22:4 [Oh. I see, Job.] God's afraid of you. Thats why he's punishing you! [Ha!] Sue [God] in court! [Subpoena the Almighty!] Maybe he'll appear [to face your charges]!
Job 32:1 Finally the 3 [elders] stop arguing with Job. They [see] that he [stubbornly] views himself as righteous, [that he's blind to his own flaws].
Job 32:17 So I'll answer [for you oldsters]. I'll do my duty. I'll disclose my knowledge. It's time [for some fresh ideas].
Job 32:18 I'm [young]. [But I'm] full of [supernatural] insight. The spirit in my gut compels me to speak [truths which you elders can't see].
Job 32:19 Watch! My heart-wisdom [pushes] like pent-up [aged] champagne bursting from its brand-new bottle.
Job 32:20 I must speak to vent the tension. I have to open my lips. [If I don't] confute [Job's errors soon, I'll pop]!
Job 35:1 [Job tries] to answer. But [he can't, because] EliHu {His-El} won't shut his [mouth]!
Job 40:12 Humiliate all the arrogant [rebels in the universe] with one glance. Knock them down. Tread [all] wicked [beings into powder] where they stand.
Psalms 30:6 When I'm prospering, I [boast], ‘Ages [will pass] before my [foot] slips [one inch].’
Psalms 73:6 Pride wraps [bigwigs] like a [gold] neckchain, 😇. Violence shrouds them like a robe.
Proverbs 30:12 Human-spawn need to be scrubbed of their filthiness, 😇. Yet they eye themselves as pure!
IsaiYAH 2:17 YAH depresses all ‘Adam's’ arrogance. [YAH] cuts man down from his lofty heights. On [Judgment] day, [YAH] alone towers, 😇. [He overshadows everything and everyone.]
IsaiYAH 3:22 [Thieves steal] the clothes [the hussies love] to tear off: their [beloved] cloaks, capes, purses.
IsaiYAH 37:12 —Did the gods of the beast-nations rescue the [countries] my fathers destroyed, like Gozan {Stone-Quarry}, Haran {Scorch}, Rezeph {Red-Hot-Stone}, and the spawn of Eden {Pleasure} in Telassar {Success-Hill}?
JeremiYAH 46:7 [Today Egypt] rises like a flood, like the surging Nile.
JeremiYAH 48:14 How can you [perverts] say, ‘We're heroes, warriors valiant in battle!?’
JeremiYAH 48:18 Come down from your glorious [throne, you pampered] princess-people of Dibon {Longing}. Sit in thirst. See! Moab's spoiler rushes up to [invade] you. He comes to ruin your fortresses.
JeremiYAH 48:42 YHVH destroys Moab's nation [forever,] because [Moab continually] puffs itself up to fight him.
JeremiYAH 49:31 YHVH orders, “Rise up, [Armies of Babylon]! March on that rich-pig nation. They live so free of care that they have neither city-gates nor window-bars. They live in their own [little fantasy world].
note: Like the United States, ripe for takeover.
JeremiYAH 49:35 YHVH-Commander-Of-Armies says; “Watch me break the bow of Elam {Hidden}, [the country whose] biggest [boast is their] mighty master [archery-force].
JeremiYAH 50:32 The [world's] proudest [lion] stumbles and falls. No one lifts him up. I set all his cities ablaze with fire. It devours everything around him, 😇.”
Ezekiel 28:3 Sure! You're wiser than DaniEl {El-Judges}. No one can hide any secret from you!
note: Sarcasm, or an indication that the king of Tyre was possessed by Satan.
Ezekiel 31:10 Then Adonai YHVH decrees, ‘[Assyria,] you raise yourself up too haughty. You shoot up your top among [earth's] thick boughs. You lift high your own heart.
Amos 6:1 Woe [to you] haughty, [complacent citizens of] Zion! Doom [comes to you] who put [your] confidence in [north Israel's] mountain Watch-Tower [Samaria]. You [arrogantly] label yourselves: ‘Chief of the Nations, the house of Israel, [the Creator's deputy-rulers,] to whom the world flocks!’
Nahum 3:8 [The evil empire's capitol city shined, 😇. She looked] superior [to the] grand metropolis [of] Thebes, [the Capitol city of Egypt,] enthroned [on the] Nile, encompassed [by] waters, walled [in and] defended [by] river[s].
Matthew 20:24 When the 10 other disciples hear [that James & JAHn are secretly running for the top seats in heaven], the 10 [boil over in] outrage against James & JAHn.
Mark 14:4 Some people at the table [scowl,] indignant. They ask, ‘Why did [that whore] waste that expensive perfume?!
Mark 14:5 —That ointment could have been sold for more than 300 pieces of silver, [more than 1 year’s wages]! [Then, after we took our cut, we'd have] given [the balance] to the poor.” The [penny-pinchers continue] scolding the [generous] woman.
note: The charity/religion biz loves donations big enough to skim large profits from.
Mark 14:29 But Peter {Rock} blurts out to YahShua, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I'll [stay right by your side].”
Luke 7:40 YahShua [reads the religious bigot's mind]. He says, “Simon {Listener}, I have something to tell you.” The Pharisee answers, [in mock humility], “Master, teach me. [Cough.]”
Luke 18:9 YahShua tells another [hot visual tale] to [some arrogant] people who brag about their own righteousness, while despising other people:
Luke 18:15 Again people bring infants to YahShua, hoping he'll touch [& heal & bless] the children. But YahShua's disciples rebuke the people on sight.
note: “Hey people, stop trying to turn the King of the Universe into your unpaid Day-Care nanny!”
John 13:37 Peter {Rock} answers YahShua, “Master, why can't I follow you now? I'll lay down my life for you!”
Romans 10:3 Since [most Israelis] stay ignorant about [YHVH] the Eloah's righteousness, they keep going about to establish their own [concepts of] equity. [They fail to] submit to [YHVH] the Eloah's [process of] justification.
note: Just like the courts in your city: the Jews serve up ‘equity’ (fairness) for money. But they ignore YAH's Laws. Selling bogus divorce decrees to adulterous wives, for instance. Putting black boys in prison for 20 years for carrying a joint in their socks. Taking children away from men who have two wives.
1st Corinthians 4:8 Today you're full, 😇. Today you're rich. You [easy-believers] reign like kings without us [apostles around to discipline you]. How I wish to Elohim you did reign, 😇, so that we [apostles] also could reign with you.
James 4:16 As it is, you boast and brag, 😇. All such boasting is damaging.
2nd Peter 1:20 First of all, 😇, know that no prophecy of scripture is [a matter] of [one's own] private interpretation.
note: We Hebrews have no secret mysteries, no one-man-guru-wisdom. Anything we write about the scripture must be clearly defensible and obvious to others who seek and receive a clear logical explanation. In contrast, secret societies such as Freemasons, Mormons and Theosophists revel in their gnostic secrets.
Judith 2:2 So Nebuchadnezzar calls to himself all his officers, and all his nobles. Out of his own [royal] mouth, he tells them his secret scheme to conquer the whole earth!
Judges 15:17 [SunRay] finishes [bragging]. He throws the jawbone from his hand. He [yells, “I] name this place Ramath-Lehi {JawBone-Heights}!”
Judges 18:29 [The invaders] rename the city “Dan {Judge}”, after their ancestor Dan, whom [Jacob's servant-slut] bore to Israel. But the [real] name of the city was Laish {Lion}.
note: Dan and Naphtali were spawned via Jacob's adulterous hump-fests with Bilhah, Rachel's maid.
1st Samuel 2:3 [Wicked ones,] stop your over-the-top, arrogant bragging! Never let pomposity come out of your mouth. For YHVH is [the all] knowing Sovereign. He weighs [all human] actions.
2nd Samuel 13:35 [In the throne room,] Jonadab {JAH's-Big-Man} [shouts] to king [David], “Look — the king's sons approach. It's just like [I] your servant said.”
1st Kings 16:24 [To serve as a new center of northern-Israeli power, Omri] buys Samaria-Hill from [a rich guy named] Shemer {Preserve}. [Omri pays the meager price of] two talents [132 pounds] of silver [for the land. Omri] builds [his palace] on the hill. He calls his newly-built city: ‘Samaria {Sanctuary}’ (named-after Shemer, the hill's [previous] owner).
note: So begins the wicked history of Samaria. The hill costs about the price of a modern house.
2nd Kings 19:13 —Where are the king of Hamath {Joined-Walls}, and the king of Arpad {Land-Spread}, and the kings of the city of Sepharvaim {Twin}, of Hena, and Ivah {Crook}? [In the grave!]”
2nd Chronicles 33:23 But, whereas Manassah (Amon's Dad) humbled himself, Amon [spits] at YHVH! Amon sins more and more, 😇!
Esther 1:4 For 180 days Artaxerxes {Truthful-Ruler} displays the vast wealth of his kingdom and the splendor and glory of his majesty.
Esther 6:5 The Imperial servants reply to the Emperor, “Look! Haman's standing in the court [yard].” So the Emperor orders [his soldiers], “Get Haman [to] come [here into my throne-room].”
Esther 6:7 So Haman answers the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor,
Job 12:3 But I, like you, have an [understanding] heart. I haven't fallen from your [intellectual heights]. Who doesn't know the facts you [blather]?
Job 13:8 [Look at me.] Lift up [your] faces. You [think your moral 'superiority' makes you fit] to defend [your actions in court before] El {God}?
note: Hebrew transliteration: ?·faces-of·him you(p)-are-respecting or for·El you(p)-are-contending
Job 13:11 Does [YAH's] majesty not terrify you [preachers]? [Soon] dread of him will fall on you.
Job 15:7 Are you the first man ever born? Were you formed before the hills [arose]?
Job 15:8 Have you heard the secret[s] of Elohim? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
Job 18:3 Why do you view us, [your betters,] as [if we were] vile beast-nationals?”
Job 20:6 [Like a bonfire, the scoundrel's] pride mounts up to the heavens. His [swelled] head reaches the clouds.
Job 29:18 I say, ‘I'll die in my [beautiful nest]. I'll multiply my days like sand [on the seashore].’
Job 31:6 Let Elohim weigh me on an even balance. He'll see my integrity.”
note: Job got a 100% righteousness score, but only graded on the curve.
Job 31:8 If my heart [ever] chased [the lust of] my eyes — if any sin-stain sticks to my hand, [I'll] let [you] root my offspring out [of the earth]!
note: Like most churchgoers, Job is more righteous than the people around him. So Job can't see his own sin.
Job 32:5 ELiHu {His-El} sees there's no solution in the mouth[s] of these 3 [elders]. So his fire-rage fires up.
Job 32:12 I came here and paid attention to all of you [elders]. Look. None of you correctly rebutted any of Job's [non]sense.
Job 32:13 So don't tell me, ‘We've decided to let El, not man, thrust [Job] down [to humility].’ [I'll take care of that!]
Job 32:14 If Job had aimed his word-arrows at me, I wouldn't have answered him with your [geriatric] yak-yak.”
Job 32:15 [Elihu lifts his head skyward:] “These [religious experts] sit there baffled, speechless, tongue-tied, [listening to vagabond Job's ranting]!
Job 32:16 [For days,] I've [patiently] waited [for these, my ‘elders’, to say something useful]. Now they sit frozen, mute as [rocks].
Job 32:21 I never flatter any man. I won't name [you as ‘wise-men’ just because you're old. I tell you each the truth to your] face.
Job 33:4 The Spirit of El {Power} advances me [beyond you old men]. The breath of the Almighty enlivens [my young mind].
Job 33:5 Are you [retirees] able to refute me? Then array your arguments. Battle me face-to-face! Stand up [for yourselves]!
Job 34:2 “Listen to my lessons, you [pea-brained] ‘wise men.’ Give [your] ear to me, O [ludicrous] ‘learned-ones.’
Job 34:5 Job keeps claiming, ‘I'm righteous! El robs me of Justice!
Job 34:16 So, if you [elders] can distinguish [fact from fiction], hear this. Open your ear[s] to the sound of my teachings.
Job 35:4 I'll answer you, [Job,] and your cronies with you.
Job 36:1 [Bratty] ELiHu {His-El} just keeps on yakking:
Job 36:2 [The elders try to interrupt the conceited teen. So he says,] “Stick with me a bit. I'll disclose [to you] further revelations from [YHVH the] Eloah.
note: The elders smirk. But they go along with ELiHu, for the entertainment value of watching the kid hang himself with his pride.
Job 36:4 No, really! My words are never false. One who is flawless in knowledge [stands] before you.
Job 40:14 Then I, [the Creator,] will admit to you, 😇, that your own power-hand can save you.
Psalms 10:4 A wicked [being] with a prideful face won't chase [a relationship with] Elohim, 😇. Elohim remains far from the [braggart's] thoughts.
Psalms 10:5 [The wicked man's] ways twist ever [more] crooked, 😇. Haughty, he sneers at all his adversaries. [YAH's] laws lie far from his sight.
Psalms 10:6 [The villain] says in his heart, “I'm immovable. I'll never [fall] into adversity.”
Psalms 18:27 You [YAH] eventually save [all] afflicted [humble] people. But you hurl [all] haughty eyes down [to the dust].
Psalms 44:18 Our hearts never revolted [from you]. We never turned our [feet] from walking your path [of righteousness].
Psalms 75:5 Stop sticking your tusks up to [challenge] the heavens. Shut your [sassy] mouth[s]. [Relax] your stiff neck[s].
Psalms 123:4 Our souls gush over with scorn from [lawbreakers who live] at ease. Arrogant, violent big-shots [vomit] their shameful-spite into our [humble faces].
Psalms 147:10 YAH never bends [down to gawk at] the strength of any horse, 😇. He takes no pleasure in the legs of any man.
note: Yah towers infinitely higher over us than we tower over worms.
IsaiYAH 2:13 [Judgment day dawns to smash down] all the lofty ‘cedars of Lebanon {White-Forest}.’ [YAH advances to crush] all [earth's ivory-tower tyrants, including] all the [Jewish] ‘oaks’ of Bashan {Fruitful}.
IsaiYAH 3:23 [Soldiers steal the whores'] mirrors, [their] fine linen [lingerie], tiaras and shawls.
IsaiYAH 10:9 —[I destroy every city alike: I crushed] Calno like [I collapsed] Carchemish {Syria}. [I squashed] Hamath {Joined-Walls} like [I trampled] like Arpad {Land-Spread}. [I shattered] Samaria {Watch-Tower} like [I splintered Syrian] Damascus.
IsaiYAH 16:6 [The people of Judah respond,] “We've heard [our fill] of the pride of Moab {Spawn-Of-Incest}, his overweening arrogance, his insolence, his bravado, and his fire-rage. But his boasts [have vanished like] hot air.”
IsaiYAH 37:13 —Where is the king of Hamath {Joined-Walls}, and the king of Arphad {Spread-Out}, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim {Twin}, [or] Hena, or Ivah {Crook}?’”
Ezekiel 16:56 In [these] days of pride, you [Judea] won't even let the name of your sister-city Sodom pass your lips!
Ezekiel 27:3 Say to [the people and king of] Tyre {Rock-Port}, “You [city sitting pretty] at the door to the sea, you merchant for the people of [earth's] many coastlands, Adonai YHVH decrees: ‘Tyre, you boast, ‘I'm perfect in beauty.’
Ezekiel 27:4 Your territory lies in the heart of [earth's] seas. Your builders have perfected your beauty.
Ezekiel 28:6 So Adonai YHVH decrees, ‘You [die] for representing your heart as the heart of Elohim {God}.
Hosea 12:8 [The descendants of ancient Israel's son] Ephraim {Double-Fruit} brag, “I'm so rich! Everything I work at makes me even more powerful! No one can find any perverse sins in me!”
Amos 6:2 Travel [north] to Calneh [in Assyria, 😇]. See [it lying destroyed]. Go to the once-great [metropolis of] Hamath {Joined-Walls}. [Ride] down [southwest] to Gath {Wine-Press}, [in] Palestine. Are you [Israelis] any better? Is your [little] empire any greater than they were?
Nahum 3:9 Allied [with] Put [and] Libya {Dry-Land}, [the war-state grew superior to the] ‘infinite’ strength of Cush {Ethiopia} & Egypt.
Habakkuk 1:11 [The army is a] blast [of] angry wind. [They] sweep past, crossing over [our land like] a guilty power-god!
Matthew 13:51 YahShua asks his disciples, “Have you understood all these [parables, 😇]?” The [lying] disciples answer YahShua, “Yes, Master.”
note: In fact, like modern churchgoers, the disciples barely understood anything Yahshua said.
Matthew 20:21 YahShua asks the [sickeningly ambitious] mother, “What do you want?” [The presumptuous Mom] answers YahShua, “Grant that these my two sons [James & JAHn] will sit [on thrones], one on your right hand, and the other on your left hand, in your kingdom.”
note: She's asking for the highest places of honor in the Kingdom of the Universe. This lady had some balls.
Mark 6:21 [Herodias's] chance [to kill JAHn] finally comes. [False-king] Herod's birthday arrives. Herod throws a [lavish] dinner party for his nobles, high officials, palace aides, military commanders, and the leading citizens of the Heathen Circle, 😇.
note: One of 3 birthdays in the bible, all disastrous days. (True Hebrews do not celebrate birthdays.) Heathen Circle = Galilee.
Mark 9:33 YahShua and his disciples arrive at [the comfortable walled town of] Capernaum. They duck into a house. There YahShua asks his disciples, “What were you [goofballs] arguing about on the road?”
Mark 10:41 Soon the other 10 disciples hear [about James' & JAHn's clueless and arrogant power-grab, 😇]. So they [boil over in] outrage at James and JAHn.
Luke 18:21 The [cocky] ruler answers, “I've obeyed all those commandments since I was a child.”
note: Technically.
1st Corinthians 4:18 Some of you [so-called ‘Christians’] keep puffing up [in pride] as if I were never coming to [correct] you, 😇.
1st Corinthians 4:19 But I am coming to you soon, if the Adonai wills. And, 😇, I will [expose the] whole [truth] about these [bragging], arrogant [‘Christians’]. [I'll unmask] their [counterfeit] ‘power.’
2nd Corinthians 10:12 We [leaders] don’t dare class or compare ourselves with some of the [fakes] who advertise themselves [as Christians]. It's not wise [for churchmen] to measure themselves against each other and compare themselves with each other.
1 Maccabees 1:3 Alexander {Man-Defender} [leads his armies in conquest] to the ends of the earth. He takes plunder from so many nations that the world becomes quiet [and submissive] before him. [The world] exalts Alexander. His heart grows lifted up [in pride].
note: Earth: probably not literally the entire globe, but the areas relevant to Israel.
1st Kings 14:28 Then whenever king [Rehoboam] marches into the temple of YHVH, the [royal] guard[s] carry the shields. Then [after worship, the guards] bring the [shields] back into the guard chamber.
Job 4:13 [I catch] vision in the night, when deep sleep falls on [lesser] men.

Job 20:4 Don't you even know [the basics, how things have been] since the earliest days, when [YAH] placed Adam [and Eve] on earth?”
Job 22:2 “Do [you think] a human can be of advantage to Elohim? Can even the wisest of men benefit [his Maker]?

note: This is a very narrow view.
Job 33:1 [Teen snob EliHu keeps bragging,] “So, Job, please, hear my revelations. Give your ear to my every word.
Job 33:2 Please. Look. I open my mouth to speak [the] wisdom [which heaven loads] onto the tip of my tongue.
Job 33:3 I give you [insightful] decrees from my honest heart. My lips declare the purified knowledge [that you elders lack].

Job 34:34 Mortals with brains consult with me. Wise masters listen to me.

Numbers (Journeys) 32:41 [Then] Jair {Goldshine} (the descendant of Manasseh {Sweet-Forgetting}) marches out. He takes the small towns of [Gilead]. He renames them [after himself]: Havoth-Jair {Goldshine's-Villages}.
Job 4:17 [The spirit whispers,] ‘Can [a] mortal man be more righteous than Elohim? Can a strongman prove purer than his Maker?’
note: Or "can men be seen as righteous/pure by their creator?"
Job 13:2 What you know, I know too. I'm not inferior to you.
Judith 2:1 On the 22th day of the 1st month in the 18th year [of] Assyrian Emperor [Nebuchadnezzar's reign], in his palace the idea circulates that he should, as he swore, “avenge himself on all the earth.”
Judith 2:12 For as I live, and by the power of my kingdom, whatever I have spoken, that will I do by my hand.
Judith 5:23 The [anti-Israel Generals all say,] “We won't shrink shaking from the face of any son of Israel! Look: Israel is a nation devoid of strength. They lack the power to wage [even] one strong battle.
Judith 6:3 [Holofornes continues,] “Nebuchadnezzar will send his forces. [They] will wipe the Hebrews from the face of the earth. The Hebrews’ god won't deliver them. Rather, we (Nebuchadnezzar's servants) will destroy the Hebrews as one man; for the Hebrews are not able to withstand the power of [even] our horses, [let alone our soldiers and war-machines].
Judith 6:4 With our horses, we will tread the Hebrews under foot. [Israel's] mountains will run drunk with [Hebrew] blood. [Israel's] fields will fill with dead [Israeli] corpses. Before us, they will collapse into their own footprints. They'll utterly perish, decrees king Nebuchadnezzar, lord of all the earth! None of my words will prove in vain!

Job 32:10 So I say, ‘Listen to me. I too will present my opinion.’
1st Corinthians 14:36 😇, did the word of [YHVH] the Eloah originate from you? Or are you the only people [YAH's] word has reached?
1 Maccabees 5:62 Plus, these men came from outside the seed-line of the [Hammers,] by whose hand [heaven chose to] give deliverance to Israel.
note: Here the fallible and short-sighted human authorship of Maccabees rears its ugly head. In fact, by weakening the Greek Empire, the Maccabees lay the cornerstone of the evil Romanesque world empire that ravages the earth to this day.
