5 The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished.
5 God can't stomach arrogance or pretense; believe me, he'll put those upstarts in their place.
5 Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.
5 The Lord detests the proud; they will surely be punished.
