4 I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

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

5 Do not lift up your horn against heavenA

or speak arrogantly.’ ”ad

6 Exaltation does not come

from the east, the west, or the desert,

7 for God is the Judge:

He brings down one and exalts another.ae

8 For there is a cup in the Lord’s hand,

full of wine blended with spices, and he pours from it.

All the wicked of the earth will drink,

draining it to the dregs.af
