4 I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

Lift not up your horn on high; Speak not with a stiff neck.

6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but its dregs, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth; It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
