5
do not lift up your horn on high,
or speak with haughty neck.'"

and not from the wilderness comes t lifting up,
7
but it is u God who executes judgment,
v putting down one and lifting up another.

with foaming wine, y well mixed,
and he pours out from it,
and all the wicked of the earth
shall z drain it down to the dregs.

But I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10
a All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
b but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
