<p> <translit> a </translit> - <translit> bās </translit> ´: The [[English]] rendition of <span> שׁפּל </span> , <i> <translit> shāphēl </translit> </i> ( <span> [[Job]] 40:11 </span> ; <span> [[Ezekiel]] 21:26 </span> ), and of its derivative <span> שׁפּל </span> , <i> <translit> shephal </translit> </i> ( <span> [[Daniel]] 4:37 </span> ) = "bring down," "debase," "humble"; of <span> ענה </span> , <i> <translit> ‛ānāh </translit> </i> ( <span> [[Isaiah]] 31:4 </span> ) = "abase self," "afflict," "chasten self," "deal harshly with," etc.; and of <span> ταπεινόω </span> , <i> <translit> tapeinóō </translit> </i> = "to depress"; figure "to humiliate" (in condition or heart): "abase," "bring low," "humble self" ( <span> Philippians 4:12 </span> ). The word is always employed to indicate what should be done to or by him who nurtures a spirit and exhibits a demeanor contrary to the laudable humility which is a natural fruit of religion. Such a person is warned that the most extravagant audacity will not daunt [[Yahweh]] nor abate [[His]] vengeance ( <span> Isaiah 31:4 </span> ), and good men are exhorted to employ their powers to bring him low ( <span> Job 40:11 </span> ; <span> Ezekiel 21:26 </span> ). [[If]] men are not able to curb the arrogant, [[God]] is ( <span> Daniel 4:37 </span> ); and [[He]] has so constituted the world, that sinful arrogance must fall ( <span> [[Matthew]] 23:12 </span> the [[King]] [[James]] Version; <span> [[Luke]] 14:11 </span> the King James Version; <span> Luke 18:14 </span> the King James Version). </p>
