- the proud helpers:
- Heb. the helpers of pride, or strength, "He dividethª° the seaª with his power,ª and by his understandingª° he smiteth²° through¹ the proud.ª" {Job 26:12} + "Hast thou an armª like God?ª or canst thou thunderª° with a voiceª like him?¹ ... Cast abroadª° the rageª of thy wrath:ª and beholdª° every one¹ [that is] proud,ª and abaseª° him." {Job 40:9-11} + "For the Egyptiansª shall helpª° in vain,ª and to no purpose:ª therefore¹ have I criedª° concerning this,ª Their² strengthª [is] to sit still.ª" {Isa 30:7} + "Yet he¹ also¹ [is] wise,ª and will bringª° evil,ª and will not¹ call backª° his words:ª but will ariseª° against¹ the houseª of the evildoers,ª° and against¹ the helpª of them that workª° iniquity.ª ... Now the Egyptiansª [are] men,ª and not¹ God;ª and their horsesª flesh,ª and not¹ spirit.ª When the LORDª shall stretch outª° his hand,ª both he that helpethª° shall fall,ª° and he that is holpenª° shall fall down,ª° and they all¹ shall failª° together.ª" {Isa 31:2-3} + "Butª he givethª° moreª grace.ª Whereforeª he saith,ª° Godª resistethª° the proud,ª butª givethª° graceª unto the humble.ª ... Submit¹ yourselves²° thereforeª to God.ª Resistª° the¹ devil,ª andª he will fleeª° fromª you.ª" {Jms 4:6-7}
