When he returned to the man of God with all his company, and came and stood before him, he said, “Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel; so please take a present from your servant now.”

In the thing

Come, let us deal wisely with them, or else they will multiply and in the event of war, they will also join themselves to those who hate us, and fight against us and depart from the land.”

But Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and besides, I will not let Israel go.”

The Lord

hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he chased after the sons of Israel as the sons of Israel were going out

boldly.

Proudly

Still you exalt yourself against My people by not letting them go.

Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

“Boast no more so very proudly,

Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth;

For the Lord is a God of knowledge,

And with Him actions are weighed.

“Then You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,
Against all his servants and all the people of his land;
For You knew that they acted arrogantly toward them,
And made a name for Yourself as it is this day.

“Pour out the overflowings of your anger,
And look on everyone who is proud, and make him low.

O love the Lord, all you His godly ones!
The Lord

preserves the faithful

And fully recompenses the proud doer.

You rebuke the arrogant, the cursed,
Who wander from Your commandments.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”

“He has done mighty deeds with His arm;
He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their heart.

But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
