你们要把这人交给撒旦去毁坏他的肉体，好使这人的灵魂在主耶稣再来的日子可以得救。

但他变得心高气傲、刚愎自用、狂妄自大，因而被革除王位、剥去尊荣。

如果你们不赶走那里的居民，留下来的人必成为你们眼里的刺和肋旁的荆棘，在你们所居之地搅扰你们，

因此，我告诉你们，我必不赶走这里的居民，他们必成为你们肋旁的刺，他们的神明必成为你们的网罗。”

希西迦却没有为他所蒙的恩典而感谢上帝，因为他心中骄傲。因此，上帝的烈怒临到他、犹大和耶路撒冷。后来希西迦和耶路撒冷的居民发觉自己心里骄傲，就谦卑下来。因此，在希西迦有生之年，耶和华的烈怒没有临到他们。

乌西雅强盛后，便心高气傲，以致走向灭亡。他干犯他的上帝耶和华，擅自进入耶和华的殿在香坛上烧香。

初信主的人不可做监督，免得他自高自大，遭受魔鬼所受的惩罚。

你们知道，当初是因为我生病才有机会首次向你们传福音。

于是，撒旦从耶和华面前退去，开始加害约伯，使他从头到脚长毒疮。

这样，他就不会妄自尊大，违背诫命，他和他的子孙就可以长久统治以色列。

切勿心骄气傲，忘记你们的上帝耶和华。祂把你们从受奴役之地——埃及救出来，

“‘藐视以色列人的邻邦必不再作刺他们的荆棘，伤他们的蒺藜，这样人们就知道我是主耶和华。’

击破一切的谬论和阻碍人们认识上帝的骄傲言论，夺回被掳去的心思意念，使其顺服基督。

就算有人奴役、剥削、利用、侮辱你们，打你们耳光，你们都能逆来顺受！

那人见胜不过雅各，就在他的大腿窝摸了一下，他大腿的关节就脱了臼。

他们就吐唾沫在祂脸上，挥拳打祂。还有人一边打祂耳光，一边说：

雅各经过毗努伊勒的时候，太阳出来了，那时他的大腿瘸了。

我们至今还是又饥又渴，衣不蔽体，遭受毒打，居无定所，

这妇人身为亚伯拉罕的女儿，受撒旦的捆绑十八年，难道不该在安息日为她解开捆索吗？”
