- Because:
- "Sonª of man,ª sayª° unto the princeª of Tyrus,ª Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Because¹ thine heartª [is] lifted up,ª° and thou hast said,ª° I¹ [am] a God,ª I sitª° [in] the seatª of God,ª in the midstª of the seas;ª yet thou¹ [art] a man,ª and not¹ God,ª though thou setª° thine heartª as the heartª of God:ª" {Ezk 28:2} + "As yet¹ exaltest²° thou thyself¹ against my people,ª that thou wilt not¹ let them go?ª°" {Exd 9:17} + "[He is] wiseª in heart,ª and mightyª in strength:ª who¹ hath hardenedª° [himself] against¹ him, and hath prospered?ª°" {Job 9:4} + "Hast thou an armª like God?ª or canst thou thunderª° with a voiceª like him?¹ ... Look²° on¹ every one¹ [that is] proud,ª [and] bring him low;ª° and tread downª° the wickedª in their place.¹" {Job 40:9-12} + "Do we¹ provoke²²° the Lord² to jealousy?ª°¹¹ are¹ we²°¹ stronger¹ than²² he?ª" {1Co 10:22} + "Who² opposethª° andª exalteth²° himself¹ aboveª allª that is calledª° God,ª orª that is worshipped;ª so² that¹ heª asª Godª sittethª° inª the¹ templeª of God,ª shewingª° himselfª thatª he isª° God.ª" {2Th 2:4} + "Forª the¹ sunª is no sooner risenª° withª a burning heat,ª butª it witherethª° the¹ grass,ª andª the¹ flowerª thereofª falleth,ª° andª the¹ graceª of the¹ fashionª of itª perisheth:ª° soª alsoª shall²° the¹ rich manª fade awayª° inª his²¹ ways.ª" {Jms 1:11}
