25 And now my brethren, I have spoken unto you concerning pride; And those of you which have afflicted your neighbor and persecuted him because that ye were proud in your hearts of the things which God hath given you, what say ye of it?

26 Do ye not suppose that such things are abominable unto Him who created all flesh?

27 And the one being is as precious in His sight as the other;

28 And all flesh is of the dust; And for the selfsame end hath He created them, that they should keep His commandments and glorify Him forever.

29 And now I make an end of speaking unto you concerning this pride;

30 And were it not that I must speak unto you concerning a grosser crime, my heart would rejoice exceedingly because of you;

31 But the word of God burdens me because of your grosser crimes;

32 For behold, thus saith the Lord: "This people beginneth to wax in iniquity; They understand not the scriptures, For they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms because of the things which were written concerning David and Solomon his son.

33 "Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before Me!" saith the Lord;

34 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord: "I have led this people forth out of the Land of Jerusalem by the power of Mine arm, that I might raise up unto Me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph;

35 Wherefore, I, the Lord God, will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old."
