This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
11. ταπεινωθήσεται. Shall be ‘humbled.’ The ‘abased’ of the A. V[287] is a needless and enfeebling variation. See on Luk 1:52, Luk 13:30, and Mat 23:12. A similar lesson is prominent in the Book of Proverbs (Pro 15:33, Pro 16:18-19, Pro 29:23), and is strongly enforced by St Peter (1Pe 5:5).
[287] A. V. Authorised Version.
