James 4:6-9 No; the gift that God gives is for a nobler end; and that is why it is said--'God is opposed to the haughty, but gives help to the humble.'

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ No; the gift that God gives is for a nobler end; and that is why it is said--'God is opposed to the haughty, but gives help to the humble.' ⁷ Therefore submit to God; but resist the Devil, and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Make your hands clean, you sinners; and your hearts pure, you vacillating men! ⁹ Grieve, mourn, and lament! Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your happiness to gloom!
