Amsal 3:34

3:34 Although⁸ he is scornful to arrogant scoffers,⁹

yet¹⁰ he shows favor to the humble.¹¹

The Lord Will Judge Jerusalem

28:14 Therefore, listen to the Lord’s word,

you who mock,

you rulers of these people

who reside in Jerusalem!¹⁸

29:20 For tyrants will disappear,

those who taunt will vanish,

and all those who love to do wrong will be eliminated¹⁹ –

7:5 At the celebration²⁰ of their king,²¹

his princes become inflamed²² with wine;

they conspire²³ with evildoers.
