and to humble all who are renowned on the earth.

To stain the pride of all glory,

And to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.

to destroy your pride

and bring low all earth’s nobility.

To bring to dishonor the pride of all glory,

To bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

he decided to disgrace those who were greatly respected.

to disgrace all the honored ones of the earth.

To despise all the honored of the earth.
