3 ¶ The ^apride of thine ^bheart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

  12 And it was because of the ^apride of their hearts, because of their exceeding ^briches, yea, it was because of their oppression to the ^cpoor, withholding their food from the hungry, withholding their clothing from the naked, and smiting their humble brethren upon the cheek, making a ^dmock of that which was sacred, denying the spirit of prophecy and of revelation, murdering, plundering, lying, stealing, committing adultery, rising up in great contentions, and deserting away into the land of Nephi, among the Lamanites—

  42 He that ^aexalteth himself shall be abased, and he that ^babaseth himself shall be exalted.

  24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have ^aexalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken and have ^bdone it.

  9 ¶ Yet ^adestroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

  8 And by thy word many high ones shall be brought low, and by thy word many low ones shall be ^aexalted.
