He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.

He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.

The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.

Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
