5 D o not lift up your horn on high; speak not with a stiff neck.

7 B ut God is the judge; he puts down one and sets up another.
8 F or the cup is in the hand of the LORD, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he pours out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof, shall wring out and swallow up all the wicked of the earth.
9 B ut I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 A nd I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
