and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn;

or speak with haughty neck.’”

and not from the wilderness comes lifting up,

putting down one and lifting up another.
putting down one and lifting up another.

and all the wicked of the earth
shall drain it down to the dregs.

but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
