1.3 KiB
The lofty gaze of man will be brought low
"Yahweh will bring down the lofty gaze of man." A man with a "lofty gaze" is looking above everyone to show them that he is better than they are. Here all people are guilty of thinking they are better than Yahweh, and the way they look at those who worship Yahweh, is a metonym for their pride. Alternate translation: "Yahweh will make ashamed all people because they think they are better than he is" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
the pride of men will be brought down
"The pride of men" here is a metonym for proud people, and being "brought down" is a metaphor for being humbled or ashamed. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "Yahweh will bring down proud men" or "Yahweh will make proud people ashamed of themselves" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
Yahweh alone will be exalted
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "people will praise only Yahweh" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
