5. Lift not up your horn on high. For
their abounding pride there is a double rebuke. A word from God soon abases the
lofty. Would to God that all proud men would obey the word here given them;
for, if they do not, he will take effectual means to secure obedience, and then
woe will come upon them, such as shall break their horns and roll their glory
in the mire forever. Speak not with a stiff neck. Impudence before God
is madness. The outstretched neck of insolent pride is sure to provoke his axe.
Those who carry their heads high shall find that they will be lifted yet
higher, as Haman was upon the gallows which he had prepared for the righteous
man.
