| 4"I said to the boastful, 'Do not boast,' And to the wicked, 'Do not lift up the horn; | 4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn; |
| 5Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.'" | 5do not lift up your horn on high, or speak with haughty neck.’” |
| 6For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation; | 6For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up, |

| 8For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, and the wine foams; It is well mixed, and He pours out of this; Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs. | 8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup with foaming wine, well mixed, and he pours out from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs. |
| 9But as for me, I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. | 9But I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. |
| 10And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off, But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up. | 10All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up. |
