God Opposes the Proud but Gives Grace to the Humble: Jeremiah 48-49 meets 1 Peter 5 and Philippines 2. 2026

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 30, Jeremiah 48-49

For, because you trusted in your works and your treasures, you also shall be taken …

We have heard of the pride of Moab — he is very proud— of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.

Jeremiah 48:7a, 29 ESV

Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’ Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you.

1 Peter 5:5b-6 ESV

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:3-11 ESV
